Essays in medical sociology Volume 1 - Insightful analysis of medicine and society in the mid-19th century

Elizabeth Blackwell

Sinopsis

In "Essays in Medical Sociology, Volume 1," Elizabeth Blackwell delves into the intricate relationship between healthcare practices and social structures. The essays present a critical analysis of how societal norms and values influence medical institutions and the experiences of patients. Written in a clear, engaging prose style, Blackwell employs both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to substantiate her arguments, bridging the gaps between sociology and medicine. This work is set against the backdrop of 19th-century social reform and emerging public health movements, offering insightful commentary on the evolving role of healthcare in society. Elizabeth Blackwell was not only a pioneering physician but also a fervent advocate for women's rights and public health. As the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States, her groundbreaking experiences in a male-dominated field profoundly shaped her views. Her dedication to bridging the gap between medicine and sociology is rooted in her observations of disparity within healthcare systems, fueled by her personal encounters with gender bias and social injustice. This compelling collection is essential for anyone interested in the intersections of health, society, and gender. Blackwell's pioneering perspectives invite readers to consider the social determinants of health, making it a valuable resource for both scholars and practitioners in the fields of sociology, healthcare, and public policy.

Sparta - Rise of a Warrior Nation

Philip Matyszak

This cultural history of Ancient Sparta chronicles the rise of its legendary military power and offers revealing insight into the people behind the myths. 
 
 
  
The Spartans of ancient Greece are typically portrayed as macho heroes: noble, laconic, totally fearless, and impervious to pain. And indeed, they often lived up to this image. But life was not as simple as this image suggests. In truth, ancient Sparta was a city of contrasts. 
 
 
  
We might admire their physical toughness, but Spartans also systematically abused their children. They gave rights to female citizens that were unmatched in Europe until the modern era, meanwhile subjecting their conquered subject peoples to a murderous reign of terror. Though idealized by the Athenian contemporaries of Socrates, Sparta was almost devoid of intellectual achievement. 
 
 
  
In this revealing history of Spartan society, Philip Matyszak chronicles the rise of the city from a Peloponnesian village to the military superpower of Greece. Above all, Matyszak investigates the role of the Spartan hoplite, the archetypal Greek warrior who was feared throughout Greece in his own day and has since become a legend. The reader is shown the man behind the myth; who he was, who he thought he was, and the environment which produced him.

Imagining The Bennets

Alex Urquhart

IMAGINING THE BENNETS is a monumental prequel, spanning forty years of family saga before Pride and Prejudice. It’s original, intricate, intelligent, and moving. The story offers a wonderful interpretation of the earlier era and is an imagination that is loyal to the original. The narrative is an uncompromising, romantic, hard-hitting, heart-rending, viscerally real, historically epic tale.
How did a rebellious boy with a miserable childhood, who ran away to sea at 15 and whose subsequent life was rich, varied and notable, become the sanguine Lewis Bennet? And how did a feisty, independent, accomplished and well-educated Catherine Gardiner become the worthy but pressured, driven and intense Mrs Bennet? They certainly encountered joy, sadness, trials and tribulations in bringing up their five girls, and somehow they shouldered their deepest fears for twenty years, knowing one or more good marriage was the only way to save the family from penury. How did they bring up those magnificent girls? It is a tale for the ages, as relevant today as it was then.
Who were the two individuals who became the middle-aged couple we know so well, and what of their earlier relationship? They fell madly in love and had the world before them. But what happened along the way, their highs and lows, to lead us the beginning of the wonderful Pride and Prejudice and the paucity of warmth we encounter? And what went on behind those well-loved scenes as Lizzie, Jane and Lydia made their marriages? We may proudly think we know, but we may have our own prejudices challenged. This story will inform and entertain you, containing much that was left unspoken in the great book upon which it is based!
