Sinopse

One of the oldest schools of physiotherapy in the United Kingdom that now operates from a university base (at Keele University) is the one founded at Baschurch in Shropshire in 1909 by Dame Agnes Hunt. She was a charismatic person who defied family, social convention and significant physical disability to devote her life to the service of people with orthopaedic problems. As practitioners, qualifiers from Oswestry are recognised for their sound clinical skills; they have determination and persistence and the ability to cope calmly with challenging situations. They have a strong sense of justice, and are devoted to their profession and loyal to their training school. The long and sometimes arduous journey from Baschurch to Keele is charted in this text, which accounts the progress of the school from its origins in a small private specialist hospital to becoming part of a thriving university. The school reaches its centenary in October 2009 and the story of its progress from 1909 to 1996 is the period covered here

In?Grizzly Confidential, author Kevin Grange—former paramedic and park ranger at Yellowstone and Grand Teton—comes face-to-face with North America’s most fearsome predator, Ursus Arctos.  
His quest takes him from his home in the Tetons to an eerie, mist-shrouded island of gigantic bruins; from the Bear Center at Washington State University—where scientists believe the secrets of hibernation might help treat diabetes, heart disease, and obesity in humans—to the dark underbelly of for-profit wildlife parks, illegal animal trade and black markets hawking bear bile. 
Along the way, he meets fascinating biologists and activists and discovers that everything he knew about grizzlies was wrong. Ultimately, his odyssey leads him to find answers on a remote corner of the Alaskan Peninsula where, for the last fifty years, humans have coexisted peacefully alongside the largest gathering of brown bears on the planet.?? ?? 
Grizzly Confidential is about bears but also the inspiring people who look after them. This is a fast-paced, gripping story that educates, entertains, and gives a sneak peek into the secret life of a well-known species. Part science, part travelogue, and a passionate plea for bear conservation, Grizzly Confidential is a lively account for anyone who loves the outdoors and learning about the natural world.?

"At bayonet point, the tall sister and the short officer headed for the mortuary where the prepared body lay.“If you lived in England, you should know how civilized people behave,” said Sister Mary Curry.The officer looked into the eyes of Sister Curry: “Do English women never cry?”“Not when we have work to do,” she replied.This is a short, sharp, punchy treatment of what happened that dreadful Christmas Day. It touches on expat eccentricities, over-sexed Scottish soldiers, altruistic nurses answering the call of their country, and Japanese infantry caught up in the red mist of battle.The Battle for Hong Kong seems lost in the shadow of other battles in Southeast Asia, such as Malaya, Singapore, Burma, and the Philippines. But while the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong Island lasted just one week from 18-25 December 1941, it was highlighted by horrific atrocities involving wounded Allied soldiers, and medical doctors, nurses, orderlies and patients.None worse than the massacre at St Stephen's College, which had transformed into a makeshift hospital.The Grubby Little Men Who Raped Hong Kong re-opens these wounds and explores who was really responsible for these outrages, and what became of them and their victims.A surprising twist in the tale links the St Stephen's College Massacre to the Alexandra British Military Hospital in Singapore in a very direct unexpected way.The page-turning style of this short ww2 book is full of humanity and human spirit.Key events, characters and places in this story (in order of appearance):The Gin Drinkers LineTerritorial Army Nursing ServiceSt John’s Cathedral, Hong KongJapanese 23 ArmyWar Memorial HospitalRoyal Hong Kong Yacht Club2 Bn Royal ScotsWinnipeg GrenadiersRoyal Rifles of Canada 229 Tanaka Regiment IJAVyner BrookeSS KualaMata HariMassacre at Radji Beach, MuntokCapt Orita MasaruTokyo War Crimes Tribunal 1948Hong Kong War Crimes Trials 1946IJA 38 DivisionVivian Bullwinkel

Sound and frequency can be used to influence mental states, enhance human experience, and heal disease. He explains how music therapy is being applied in healthcare. “It’s unbelievable what’s been happening with people just by using sound and music.”

Prior to the First World War, more people learned of evolutionary theory from the voluminous writings of Charles Darwin’s foremost champion in Germany, Ernst Haeckel (1834–1919), than from any other source, including the writings of Darwin himself. But, with detractors ranging from paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould to modern-day creationists and advocates of intelligent design, Haeckel is better known as a divisive figure than as a pioneering biologist. Robert J. Richards’s intellectual biography rehabilitates Haeckel, providing the most accurate measure of his science and art yet written, as well as a moving account of Haeckel’s eventful life.
