SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2022 BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE A The Times Book of
the Year 2022 'Morland writes about nature and the changing
landscape with such lyrical precision that her prose sometimes
seems close to poetry' - Christina Patterson, The Sunday Times A
Fortunate Woman is a compelling, thoughtful and insightful look at
the life and work of a country doctor. Funny, moving and not afraid
of the dark, it will speak to readers everywhere. Polly Morland was
clearing her late mother's house when she found a battered
paperback fallen behind the family bookshelf. Opening it, she was
astonished to see an old photograph of the remote, wooded valley in
which she lives. The book was A Fortunate Man, John Berger's
classic account of a country doctor working in the same valley more
than half a century earlier. This chance discovery led Morland to
the remarkable doctor who serves that valley community today, a
woman whose own medical vocation was inspired by reading the very
same book as a teenager. A Fortunate Woman tells her compelling,
true story, and how the tale of the old doctor has threaded through
her own life in magical ways. Working within a community she loves,
she is a rarity in contemporary medicine: a modern doctor who knows
her patients inside out, the lives of this ancient, wild place
entwined with her own. Revisiting Berger's story after half a
century of seismic change, both in our society and in the ways in
which medicine is practised, A Fortunate Woman sheds light on what
it means to be a doctor in today's complex and challenging world.
Interweaving the doctor's story with those of her patients,
reflecting on the relationship between landscape and community, and
upon the wider role of medicine in society, a unique portrait of a
twenty-first century family doctor emerges. Illustrated throughout
with photographs by Richard Baker. 'Contains a profound message for
the future at a critical moment for general practice and us all' -
Wendy Moore, TLS 'I was consoled and compelled by this book's
steady gaze on healing and caring. The writing is beautiful' -
Sarah Moss, author of Summerwater and Ghost Wall 'A vibrant and
authentic portrait of the rural family doctor in these difficult
contemporary times' - Trisha Greenhalgh, Professor of Primary Care
at the University of Oxford
Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. With contributions
from leading experts in the fields of anthropology, communications,
disaster studies, economics, epidemiology, Indigenous studies,
philosophy and sociology, this expansive book offers a diverse
range of social science perspectives on the COVID-19 pandemic,
providing critical insights into what a research agenda for
COVID-19 and society resembles across different fields of study.
This timely Research Agenda investigates what the social sciences
can contribute to COVID-19 scholarship, exploring topics such as
the impact of the pandemic on women and Indigenous Peoples, ideas
behind herd immunity, drivers of vaccine diplomacy, magnification
of existing inequalities, and the ethics of vaccine passports.
Driven by a particular focus on the causes and consequences of the
pandemic, the book considers the opportunities that research into
COVID-19 presents, including how such disasters might be mitigated,
as well as how we might change the world for the better and carry
out our own work differently in the future. Drawing upon numerous
critical theories and methodological approaches, this incisive
Research Agenda will be an invaluable tool for academics across the
social sciences, particularly disaster scholars. Graduate and
undergraduate students will benefit from its wealth of insightful
contributions from experts working in their respective fields.
