Beschreibung

In 1860 Captain William Henry Knight journeyed through Kashmir and Thibet (Tibet) in the company of another officer and a porter. Having spent a year and a half in India with his regiment, Knight had managed to obtain a six-month' leave of absence in order to escape the hot season and journey through the cool foothills of the Himalayas. His goal in this volume was to represent "a faithful picture of travels in regions where excursion trains are still unknown, and travelers' guides unpublished." Diary of a Pedestrian in Cashmere and Thibet was a bestseller in its day and remains a fascinating eyewitness account of the people and culture of a forgotten time and place.

    An analysis of the efforts of American nurses to establish nursing as an academic discipline and nurses as valued researchers in the decades after World War II. 
     
    Nurses represent the largest segment of the U.S. health care workforce and spend significantly more time with patients than any other member of the health care team. Dr. Nurse probes their history to examine major changes that have taken place in American health care in the second half of the twentieth century. The book reveals how federal and state health and higher education policies shaped education within health professions after World War II. 
     
    Starting in the 1950s, academic nurses sought to construct a science of nursing—distinct from that of the related biomedical or behavioral sciences—that would provide the basis for nursing practice. Their efforts transformed nursing’s labor into a valuable site of knowledge production and proved how the application of their knowledge was integral to improving patient outcomes. Exploring the knowledge claims, strategies, and politics involved as academic nurses negotiated their roles and nursing’s future, Dr. Nurse highlights how state-supported health centers have profoundly shaped nursing education and health care delivery.

    The Cuban Missile Crisis, one of the most critical moments in the Cold War, did not emerge in isolation but was the culmination of a decades-long geopolitical struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union. The context of this crisis lies deeply within the broader Cold War, which began shortly after the end of World War II. This period was marked by intense ideological rivalry, military standoffs, and a nuclear arms race that would define much of the second half of the 20th century. 
    The origins of the Cold War can be traced back to the conflicting political and economic ideologies of the two superpowers. The United States, championing capitalism and democracy, viewed the spread of communism, led by the Soviet Union, as a direct threat to global stability and democratic values. On the other hand, the Soviet Union, under the leadership of Joseph Stalin, sought to expand the reach of communism and solidify its control over Eastern Europe, which had been acquired as a result of the war. This division between the capitalist West and the communist East created a tense geopolitical environment that shaped every diplomatic interaction between the two powers. 
    In the early stages of the Cold War, several key events served to heighten the distrust between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The Berlin Blockade in 1948, the Korean War in the early 1950s, and the formation of opposing military alliances like NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and the Warsaw Pact solidified the division of the world into two hostile camps. As both nations escalated their military capabilities, the nuclear arms race emerged as a central aspect of Cold War tensions. The development and stockpiling of nuclear weapons made the Cold War not just an ideological battle but also a dangerous game of survival, with the constant threat of global annihilation hanging over every political and military maneuver.

    Arranging ofrendas. Brewing pericón into a healing tea. Releasing traumas through baños and limpias. Herbalist and curandera Atava Garcia Swiecicki spent decades gathering this traditional knowledge of curanderismo, Mexican folk healing, which had been marginalized as Chicanx and Latinx Americans assimilated to US culture. She teaches how to follow the path of the curandera, as she herself learned from apprenticing with Mexican curanderas, studying herbal texts, and listening to her ancestors. In this book listeners will learn the Indigenous, African, and European roots of curanderismo. Atava also shares her personal journey as a healer and those of thirteen other inspirational curanderas serving their communities. She offers listeners the tools to begin their own healing—for themselves, for their relationship with the earth, and for the people. 
     
     
     
    The Curanderx Toolkit includes more than twenty-five profiles of native and adopted plants of Baja and Alta California and teaches you to grow, know, and love them. This book will help anyone who has lost connection with their ancestors begin to incorporate the herbal wisdom and holistic wellness of curanderismo into their lives. Take the power of ancient medicine into your own hands by learning simple herbal remedies and practicing rituals for kinship with the more-than-human world.
