Beschreibung

In the heart of feudal China, a young American doctor named Edward Bliss embarked on a remarkable journey of service and sacrifice. Driven by an unwavering faith and a profound sense of compassion, he left behind the comforts of his Massachusetts home to bring hope and healing to the people of Shaowu, an impoverished walled city untouched by modern medicine.

With unwavering determination, Bliss established a medical practice in Shaowu, becoming the city's first and only doctor. His arrival marked a turning point for the people, who had long suffered from treatable illnesses and diseases. Day after day, he tirelessly treated patients, performed surgeries in primitive conditions, and dispensed medicine to those in need.

Bliss's dedication and skill as a physician quickly earned him the respect and admiration of the local community. He embraced the local culture, learning the language and customs, and becoming an integral part of the city. His work extended beyond the walls of his clinic, as he also became involved in education and public health initiatives, leaving a lasting impact on Shaowu.

As political turmoil erupted in China, Bliss's unwavering commitment to his patients was tested during the Boxer Rebellion. Refusing to abandon them, he remained steadfast in his resolve to protect them and continue his work. Despite the destruction of his medical clinic, he persevered, demonstrating unwavering courage and dedication.

Edward Bliss's life and work in China are a testament to the transformative power of one person's unwavering commitment to serving others. Through his selfless service, he brought hope and healing to countless lives, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire generations. His story is a reminder of the profound impact that a single individual can have on a community, and the enduring power of compassion and selflessness.

    A Croft in the Hills captures, in simple, moving descriptions, what it was really like trying to make a living out of a hill croft near Loch Ness fifty years ago. A couple and their young daughter, fresh from city life, immerse themselves in the practicalities of looking after sheep, cattle and hens, mending fences, baking bread, and surviving the worst that Scottish winters can throw at them. 
     
     
     
    Their neighbors are few, but among them they find the generosity and community spirit that has survived in the Highlands for generations. Working as a tight family unit, they learn to cope, and in time grow to love their little croft. As Neil Gunn writes in his Foreword, their lives gain extra dimensions that 'give the book its unusual quality, its brightness, and its wisdom'.

    A deeply personal exploration of childless and childfree women in their own words. 
     
     
     
    Others Like Me is the story of fourteen women around the world, from different walks of life, who don't have children. It's also the story of why Nicole Louie had to find these women and what they taught her. Part memoir, part exploration of childlessness through candid conversations, this book showcases the many ways in which people find fulfillment outside of parenthood. And because the social expectation to procreate weighs the most on women, Louie focuses solely on them, their experiences, and how they flourish outside of motherhood. In doing so, she upends the stereotypes that diminish women who are childless by choice, circumstance, or ambivalence and offers reassurance and companionship on a path less known.
