This book aims to document and analyse the enduring involvement of
children in the commercial sex trade in twentieth-century England.
It uncovers new evidence to indicate the extent of under-age
prostitution over this period, a much-neglected subject despite the
increased visibility of children more generally. The authors argue
that child prostitution needs to be understood within a broader
context of child abuse, and that this provides one of the clearest
manifestations of the way in which 'deviant groups' can be
conceived of as both victims and threats. The picture of child
prostitution which emerges is one of exclusion from mainstream
society and the law, and remoteness from the agencies set up to
help young people in trouble, which were often reluctant to accept
the realities of child prostitution. The evidence provided in this
book indicates that the circumstances which have led young people
into prostitution over the last hundred years amount, at worst, to
physical or psychological abuse or neglect, and at best as the
result of limited choice.
This clear and intuitive introduction to care planning for nurses
explains the benefits of holistic, individualised care planning
from a professional and clinical perspective. Using the ASPIRE
model, it guides the reader step-by-step through a problem-solving
approach to care, from assessing patients and identifying their
needs, to planning goals and interventions, and evaluating
progress. The book is structured to explain the theory of care
planning in relation to a number of common nursing models and then
show how the theory can best be put into practice. It draws on
recent research to show how nurses can develop individualised care
plans from scratch or use and adapt a range of 'off-the-shelf'
tools. It is written in a clear, succinct and down-to-earth writing
style, which will put students immediately at their ease, and is
rich with pedagogic features, including: 'Stop and think' boxes to
check understanding; boxed 'Practice examples' to illustrate points
made; 'Research summary' boxes to highlight relevant and important
studies; 'What have you learnt so far?' features to recap on key
points of discussion; mini care plans; regular activities to
encourage the reader to apply what they have learnt to particular
practice scenarios. This is a go-to text for all pre-registration
nursing students taking courses on the theory and practice of
effective healthcare delivery.
The Story of the Masters is the first comprehensive year-by-year
history of the world's most famous golf tournament. Veteran golf
journalist David Barrett draws upon contemporaneous reporting and
other source material to offer dramatic accounts of each year the
tournament has been played, starting in 1934. The story of the
tournament progresses from the early years when it was founded by
golf great Bobby Jones and quickly established itself as an elite
event, to the post-World War II era when Sam Snead and Ben Hogan
dominated. The thrilling exploits of dashing hero Arnold Palmer
brought the tournament into the television age and the sustained
excellence of Jack Nicklaus helped to further the prestige of the
tournament. Nearly two full decades of European dominance of the
Masters heralded the international age of golf. Then Tiger Woods
came along and used the Augusta stage for his coming-out party in
1997 and then for his epic comeback in 2019. In Barrett's telling,
each year has its own story to tell as the Augusta National course
provides the perfect setting for tournament excitement, noted for
suspenseful back-and-forth action between multiple contenders -—
the norm at the Masters. The nature of the course's layout creates
opportunities for stirring charges and heroic shots to determine
the champion, while filled with enough danger to provoke monumental
collapses that also become part of Masters lore. Through the
decades, the game's greatest players have shined their brightest at
the Masters. Many golfing careers have been shaped and defined by
this tournament, and Barrett shares unknown and forgotten stories
of not only the sport's stars, but also the many others who
challenged them over the years at Augusta.
