Beschreibung

Edward Tyas Cook's "The Life of Florence Nightingale" (Vol. 1 & 2) is a comprehensive biographical account that delves into the life and legacy of one of history's most iconic figures in nursing and social reform. Written with meticulous detail and clarity, Cook's narrative intertwines Nightingale's personal experiences and professional aspirations with the broader socio-political context of the 19th century. The dual-volume work captures her tireless dedication to improving healthcare standards and her pivotal role in shaping modern nursing, using a blend of extensive research and literary finesse that situates Nightingale as both a humanitarian and a pioneer. Edward Tyas Cook was not only a biographer but also an editor and writer committed to documenting the notable figures of his time. His deep respect for Nightingale's accomplishments and character inspired him to take on the formidable task of compiling her letters, reports, and various historical documents. His accessibility to primary sources and his profound understanding of Nightingale's influence on healthcare reform imbued the biography with authenticity and rigor, making it an essential resource for scholars and practitioners alike. I highly recommend "The Life of Florence Nightingale" for anyone interested in the evolution of nursing, social reform, or the intricacies of 19th-century medical history. Cook's work is indispensable for readers seeking a nuanced portrayal of Florence Nightingale, providing insights not only into her unparalleled contributions to nursing but also her indelible impact on societal change.

    I made fast friends with my peers, but I was not popular with the leadership. They were less than receptive to my opinion that requiring such strict conformity was not only unnecessary, but counter-productive. My outspoken nature quickly earned me close scrutiny from everyone in my chain of command, but I was good at my job. I received nothing but praise for my performance. There wasn't the slightest chink in my professional armor, so they did the only thing they could do. They waited for me to screw up. And screw up I did. I made a colossal error in judgment, completely non-commensurate with my rank, age, and experience. Then they came after me with no holds barred. I'd never been through such an upheaving experience and I hope never to do so again. I fought. I lost. I won. This is my story.

    In late-1940s Long Branch, a historic but run-down Jersey Shore resort town, in a neighborhood of Italian, Black, and Jewish families, Robert Pinsky began his unlikely journey to becoming a poet. Descended from a bootlegger grandfather, an athletic father, and a rebellious tomboy mother, Pinsky was an unruly but articulate high school C student, whose obsession with the rhythms and melodies of speech inspired him to write. 
     
     
     
    Pinsky traces the roots of his poetry, with its wide and fearless range, back to the voices of his neighborhood, to music and a distinctly American tradition of improvisation, with influences including Mark Twain and Ray Charles, Marianne Moore and Mel Brooks, Emily Dickinson and Sid Caesar, Dante Alighieri and the Orthodox Jewish liturgy. He reflects on how writing poetry helped him make sense of life's challenges, such as his mother's traumatic brain injury, and on his notable public presence, including an unprecedented three terms as United States poet laureate. 
     
     
     
    Candid, engaging, and wry, Jersey Breaks offers an intimate self-portrait and a unique poetic understanding of American culture.

    'How did a bullied, introverted Pretoria schoolboy become the world's richest person and arguably humanity's greatest change agent? Vlismas's extensively researched biography does a great job of unwrapping Elon Musk's remarkable life story.'– TOBY SHAPSHAK.
    Often in the news for his entrepreneurial exploits and his controversial tweets, Elon Musk is one of the richest and best-known people on earth. In 2022 he made headlines worldwide with his bid to buy Twitter. Who is this boundary-pushing billionaire with grand plans of inhabiting Mars, and what lies at the heart of his vision? Why is he so utterly unafraid of risk?
    As an awkward Pretoria schoolboy who loved comics and science fiction, Musk's early years and singular family background were crucial in forming his stellar ambitions. Journalist and author Michael Vlismas, who attended the same high school as Musk, knows well the environment that shaped him and offers new insights into Musk's development, including his troubled relationship with his father.
    Tracing his remarkable life, from his South African childhood to his move to Canada at 17 and then to the US – where Musk made millions out of PayPal and built Tesla and SpaceX into two of the world's most famous companies – this is the story of a man driven to preserve the optimism he sees in humanity and find a future for humans 'out there among the stars'.
