Sinossi

In "Through the Brazilian Wilderness," Theodore Roosevelt documents his ambitious journey through the uncharted territories of Brazil alongside Brazilian explorer Cândido Rondon. This groundbreaking work combines vivid first-person narratives with meticulous scientific observations as Roosevelt seeks both adventure and knowledge in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. The book is characterized by its engaging prose and rich descriptions of the diverse flora and fauna, while also reflecting the broader themes of exploration and the interplay between civilization and nature, set against the backdrop of early 20th-century imperialism and nationalism. Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, was an avid naturalist and conservationist whose profound love for the outdoors deeply influenced his writing. This expedition was part of his post-presidential life, where he sought exhilaration and purpose amid his ambitions for environmental preservation. His background in politics and robust personality lend an unmatched eagerness to both his explorations and literary endeavors, showcasing his relentless pursuit in understanding and protecting nature while forging an enduring legacy in the field of conservation. "Through the Brazilian Wilderness" is not merely a tale of adventure; it is a landmark exploration of human perseverance, ecological awareness, and the complexities of cross-cultural interactions. It is highly recommended for readers interested in travel writing, environmental studies, and the psychological motivations behind exploration, offering significant insights into an essential chapter of American and Brazilian history.

    'I proudly wear my badge as a Covid-19 front-line hero. I believe I was meant to be where I am during these trying times.'
    Our nurses have witnessed the pandemic first hand, compassionately caring for patients amid war-like circumstances.
    The havoc caused by the pandemic highlighted existing fault lines in the South African health system, and nurses faced shortages of staff and vital life-saving equipment. Colleagues tested positive and died. Visitors were not allowed, so nurses had to be intermediaries between patients and desperate family trying to glean information on the phone. Despite these pressures, they remained at the forefront of the fight against the deadly virus.
    This book brings together deeply personal stories of caring for patients in wards and ICU, of feeling overwhelmed, and experiencing the fear of getting infected and passing Covid on to their families. There are also moving tales of personal growth and finding renewed purpose. In Our Own Words shows the extreme resilience of nurses – even in the face of adversity. And that at the core of a 'true' nurse remains the commitment to the patient.
    'A powerful and moving account from the coalface of the Covid-19 response – this is a must read!' – Salim Abdool Karim

    Rheumatology is a specialized branch of medicine focused on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the joints, muscles, and connective tissues. It encompasses a wide range of conditions, including autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that impact the musculoskeletal system. Rheumatologists play a crucial role in managing these conditions, often working alongside other specialists to provide comprehensive care. The field has evolved significantly over time, with advancements in research leading to better treatment strategies and improved patient outcomes. 
    The history of rheumatology dates back centuries, though early physicians lacked a clear understanding of joint diseases. In ancient times, conditions such as gout and arthritis were recognized, but treatments were largely ineffective. The field gained scientific recognition in the 20th century with the identification of autoimmune mechanisms underlying many rheumatic diseases. The development of imaging techniques, laboratory tests, and targeted therapies has transformed rheumatology into a more precise and effective medical discipline. Today, research continues to uncover new insights into the genetic, environmental, and immunological factors that contribute to these conditions.
