Treatment of the Cholera in the Royal Hospital Haslar during the months of July and August 1849 - Insights into Cholera Treatment in 19th Century Healthcare

John Wilson

Maison d'édition: Good Press

Synopsis

In "Treatment of the Cholera in the Royal Hospital, Haslar during the months of July and August, 1849," John Wilson offers a meticulous account of the medical practices employed in a pivotal but tumultuous time for public health. Written in an accessible yet scholarly style, Wilson'Äôs work weaves together firsthand observations, clinical practices, and empirical data that depict the grave realities faced by both patients and healthcare providers during the cholera epidemic that swept through England. This document not only serves as a crucial primary source for historical epidemiology but also reflects the evolving medical theories and strategies of the late 19th century, illuminating the intersection of science and humanity in the face of crisis. John Wilson, a prominent physician at Haslar Royal Naval Hospital, was deeply influenced by the social and scientific milieu of his time. His commitment to understanding and combating cholera stems from both a moral imperative and an intellectual pursuit, as medical professionals grappled with new theories of contagion and treatment amidst a backdrop of public fear and uncertainty. Wilson'Äôs background in naval medicine provided him unique insights into the challenges of treating infectious diseases within a constrained environment, enriching his contributions to medical literature. I highly recommend Wilson's work to scholars, medical historians, and health practitioners alike as it not only chronicles a historical medical crisis but also underscores the resilience of human spirit in medical practice. This account invites readers to reflect on the lessons from the past, particularly in our ongoing battles with epidemics, making it a poignant read for anyone interested in the evolution of public health.

Expressly Human - Decoding The...

Mark Changizi, Tim Barber

Over billions of years of evolution, animals have become increasingly sophisticated and increasingly sentient. In the process, they evolved emotions, which helped improve their odds of survival in complex situations. These emotions were, at first, purely internal. But at some point, social animals began expressing their emotions, in increasingly dramatic ways. These emotional expressions could accurately reflect internal emotions (smiling to express happiness)—or they could be quite different (smiling to cover up that you're actually furious, but can't tell your boss that). 
 
 
  
Why did once-stone-faced animals evolve to be so emotionally expressive—to be us? The answer, as evolutionary neurobiologist Mark Changizi and mathematician Tim Barber reveal, is that emotional expressions are our first and most important language—one that allows us, as social animals, to engage in highly sophisticated communications and negotiations. 
 
 
  
Expressly Human introduces an original theory that explains, from first principles, how the broad range of emotional expressions evolved, and provides a Rosetta Stone for human communication. It will revolutionize the way you see every social interaction, from deciding who gets the last slice of pizza to multimillion-dollar business negotiations, and change your definition of what makes us human.

The Power is in Webinars

Webinars have become one of the most popular ways to promote a business in the past few years.

They are so effective because they provide an impassiveness that other forums of media do not and attendees get real-time information delivered straight to them, not to mention the interactivity of question-and-answer sessions.

According to the Adobe Software blog, webinars rank in the top three of the content delivery methods out there.

How Do You Get Started?
In order to use a webinar to promote your business, you are going to need to know the secrets to a successful webinar.
With so much information out there, where do you even begin?

It's overwhelming, I know!

You could use the old "trial and error" method and fail.

You could waste hours of your time sifting through websites and videos and end up even worse than when you began.

The good news is I've written a handy eBook to help you get started — no matter whether you're a beginner.

I've put it all into one easy-to-understand course.

Geophysics - The Physics of...

Mark Hedges

Geophysics is the branch of Earth sciences that applies the principles of physics to study the Earth's structure, composition, and dynamic processes. It plays a fundamental role in understanding the physical properties of our planet, from the deep interior to the surface and beyond into the atmosphere and magnetosphere. By utilizing various physical measurements and mathematical models, geophysicists investigate phenomena such as earthquakes, gravitational fields, magnetic fields, heat flow, and fluid dynamics.
One of the primary objectives of geophysics is to analyze the Earth's subsurface without direct observation, making it an essential tool in fields such as resource exploration, environmental studies, and hazard assessment. Seismic waves generated by natural or artificial sources, for example, allow scientists to infer the structure of the Earth's interior. The variations in Earth's gravity and magnetic fields provide crucial insights into the distribution of mass and the composition of different layers within the planet.
Geophysics encompasses a wide range of subfields, each focusing on specific aspects of Earth's physical behavior. Seismology, one of the most well-known branches, studies the propagation of seismic waves to understand earthquakes and the internal structure of the Earth. Geomagnetism examines the Earth's magnetic field, its origins, and its variations over time. Gravimetry focuses on measuring and interpreting variations in the Earth's gravitational field, which can reveal density differences in the subsurface.

Ecofarmer's Discovery An - How...

Ewan Campbell

As more farmers move to a regenerative approach to their farming practices, many turn to Ewan who has been farming this way for decades, providing practical answers for practical farmers through growing the greatest soil on earth.
Ewan, faced with a failing farm and 'empty pockets', realised that doing things the way they had always been done was what had gotten him to the point of 'farming off the cliff slowly'. Asking the question 'What is soil?' he embarked on a journey of research and trials resulting in a deep understanding of the delicate interaction of the soil, biology, nutrient, plant and ultimately health of the animal and ourselves.
Through observation of phenomena, study of concepts and testing Ewan finds solutions to problems that are facing farmers today - always a beneficial outcome. 'Study books and observe nature; if they do not agree, throw away the books' (Albrecht).
This book chronicles the pursuit of knowledge and excellence in farming - everything is connected to the soil. If the soil is failing then so is the produce and profitability. In this world of clean and green, Ewan is able to bring back the natural nitrogen cycle in the plant (nitrogen doesn't need to be from a bag) whilst growing and measuring deep carbon levels, beneficial to the water cycle as well. Nature will repair itself and this book will explain how.
With the patent for 'Probitas' - a product that amplifies the natural electrical potential of the earth and with his extensive knowledge of soil silicas and free aluminium, Ewan is a force that Big Ag tried to eliminate.
Farmers are increasingly looking to heal their land, maintain healthy and productive animals and revitalise and regenerate their farming life and enthusiasm.
Ewan puts complex concepts through the 'simplifier' to allow anyone to understand, linking soil-plant-animal-human health. He is often told that nobody else has their feet in the farm like he does.
