A beautifully illustrated history of Britain’s most revered and
valued institution: the NHS. In March 2020 the UK went into
lockdown to help contain the spread of COVID-19 and protect the NHS
from one of the greatest threats that it has faced in its 72-year
history. Today more than ever, all eyes are on this beloved
institution as it continues to innovate and adapt to meet the
challenges of providing national healthcare in the modern world. In
this fully illustrated introduction, Dr Susan Cohen traces the
history of the NHS from its establishment after the Second World
War, through seven decades of changing management and organisation,
often in controversial political circumstances, right up to the
current COVID-19 crisis. Including personal recollections from
healthcare professionals on the frontline, as well as the patients
in their care, this important and timely volume offers a
comprehensive overview of one of the world's most remarkable
healthcare systems.
The midwife: medical professional, friend in a woman's hour of
greatest need, potent social and cultural symbol. Though the role
of midwife has existed since time immemorial, it is only since the
Victorian era that it has been a recognised and regulated
profession. This book, from social history expert Susan Cohen,
looks at midwifery in Britain from ancient times up to the present,
paying particular attention to its incredible medical and social
advances of the last 150 years. It is a fully illustrated tour that
takes in fictional midwives such as Dickens' Sarey Gamp, the
founding of the Royal College of Midwives in 1881, the Second World
War, the forming of the NHS and the Central Midwives Board, and
looks at the increasing medicalisation of childbirth and the
countervailing trend for giving birth at home.

Peripheral Concerns examines the influence of one "core" region of
the ancient Near Eastern world-Egypt-on urban development in the
southern Levant in the Early and Middle Bronze Ages, with emphasis
on the relative stability and sustainability of this development in
each era. The study utilizes a very broad scale "macro" approach to
examine urban development using core-periphery theories,
specifically in regard to southern Levantine-Egyptian
interactions.While many studies examine urban development in both
the Early Bronze Age and the Middle Bronze Age, few compare this
phenomenon in the two periods. Likewise, there are few studies of
urban development in the southern Levant that compare contemporary
Egyptian policies in that region to those in Nubia, despite the
fact that Egyptian activities linked the eastern Mediterranean, the
Nile Valley, and Nubia into one interactive system. The broad
chronological and geographic framework utilized in this study
therefore allows for a new approach to urban development in the
southern Levant.
The Salvation Army is a byword for philanthropy and charitable
work, with its brass bands and uniformed officers indelible parts
of the fabric of British life - yet many may not be aware of the
real extent of its work and influence. This is the story of how
Reverend William Booth's East London Christian Mission of 1865
(which became the Salvation Army in 1878) has become a truly global
enterprise, one that in Britain is still second only to the
government in the provision of social care. It is a symbol of
charity that was forged in the crucible of mid-Victorian Britain
and is now known in more than 120 countries, and Susan Cohen here
explains and illustrates its activities and structures, its history
and present, and its very important legacy.

Nurses and nursing are firmly rooted in Britain's heritage, for the
profession as we know it today owes much to the pioneering work of
Florence Nightingale. Before she helped establish the first nurse
training school in Liverpool in the late 1800s, the women who
looked after the sick were a motley mix. The role of the nurse has
developed from the untrained handywoman and private nurse, through
the early nurses who acted as 'health missioners', to the highly
trained professionals we recognise today. Nurse training has
evolved to reflect the advances in medical treatment and nurses
have been able to engage more widely with the community by
undergoing additional training as, for example, district nurses,
school nurses, midwives, health visitors and mental health nurses.
During both world wars, nurses made a special contribution on the
home front and overseas. Using first-hand accounts from nurses
through the ages, Susan Cohen takes us on a nostalgic journey
through the history of nurses and nursing in Britain, from the
pre-Nightingale days through to the post-NHS era. This book is part
of the Britain's Heritage series, which provides definitive
introductions to the riches of Britain's past, and is the perfect
way to get acquainted with nurses and nursing in all their variety.

ligt in het midden van Europa. Danny is altijd al dol geweest op
dierenverhalen. Hij heeft niet alleen dieren op de plaatjes in zijn
leesboeken gezien, maar ook een heleboel dieren in het echt. Die
avond toen ze terug in het safari kamp waren, was Danny heel blij,
omdat hij een nieuw vriendje had. Biju, die onder een grote boom
lekker tegen zijn moeder aanlag, was ook blij, want hij had een
aardig jongetje leren kennen, die hem een hele banaan had gegeven,
terwijl hij alleen maar om n hapje had gevraagd!
