Intellectual history and early modern history have always occupied
an important place in Past and Present. First published in 1974,
this volume is a collection of original articles and debates,
published in the journal between 1953 and May 1973, dealing with
many aspects of the intellectual history of the seventeenth
century. Several of the contributions have been extremely
influential, and the debates represent major standpoints in
controversies over genesis of modern ideas. Although England is the
focus of attention for most of the contributors, their themes have
wider significance. Among the topics covered in the collection are
the political thought of the Levellers and of James Harrington;
radical social movements of the Puritan Revolution; the ideological
context of physiological theories associated with William Harvey;
the relationship between science and religion and the social
relations of science; and the function of millenariansim and
eschatology in the seventeenth century. The editor's Introduction
indicates the context in which the articles were composed and
provides valuable bibliographical information about the subjects
discussed.

In recent years the study of nursing history in Britain has been
transformed by the application of concepts and methods from the
social sciences to original sources. The myths and legends which
have grown up through a century of anecdotal writing have been
chipped away to reveal the complex story of an occupation shaped
and reshaped by social and technological change. Most of the work
has been scattered in monographs, journals and edited collections.
The skills of a social historian, a sociologist and a graduate
nurse have been brought together to rethink the history of modern
nursing in the light of the latest scholarship. The account starts
by looking at the type of nursing care available in 1800. This was
usually provided by the sick person's family or household servants.
It traces the interdependent growth of general nursing and the
modern hospital and examines the separate origins and eventual
integration of mental nursing, district nursing, health visiting
and midwifery. It concludes with reflections on the prospects for
nursing in the year 2000.
Combining the skills of a social historian, a sociologist and a
graduate nurse, this book traces the history of nursing from 1800
and speculates on the future of nursing in the year 2000. This book
should be of interest to students in nursing, social
administration, medical sociology and the history of nursing.
This third collection of Charles Schmitt's articles complements the
previous two and consists largely of studies published in the last
few years of his life. It therefore contains his mature reflections
on central issues in the fields of Renaissance philosophy and
science, as well as important new research findings. The main
subjects are Aristotelianism and Scepticism, and the history of
medicine and natural philosophy. Some articles assess the place of
traditional elements in the work of major scientific innovators,
such as Galileo or Harvey, others make available new sources of
documentation and show the significance of writings others had not
deigned to look at. Charles Schmitt's insistence that Renaissance
thought should be reconstructed in terms faithful to the value
systems of the period also led to an increasing interest in the
socio-economic context of philosophical speculation, reflected here
in the studies on the University of Pisa in the 16th century.
Deliciosa obrita, ya clasica, que nos presenta a esos otros
habitantes de nuestro planeta a los que -al igual que ha ocurrido
con los animales silvestres- la invasion del hombre ha expulsado de
muchos lugares, hallandose en los parajes solitarios, los bosques,
los lagos, las montanas y tambien en alta mar.

One of the fundamental theosophic beliefs is that there exists a
collection of true knowledge that is the foundation of all world
religions. In pursuit of this truth and the perfection of mankind,
humans are constantly reborn, evolving toward their highest state.
In this book, originally published in 1925, Charles Leadbeater
discusses the existence of Masters, or men who have reached the
highest state of human consciousness, and how they can be
identified. He further explains to the reader how they may make
their own way on the path toward perfection. Anyone interested in
religious studies will be interested in this classic example of
theosophical philosophy.English clergyman turned spiritualist
CHARLES WEBSTER LEADBEATER (1854-1934) was ordained as an Anglican
priest, but later joined the prominent Theosophical Society and
traveled to India to study alternative spiritual and occult
practices, eventually settling into his life as a clairvoyant and
author. His other works include Man Visible and Invisible and The
Science of the Sacrament.
