"This is an excellent review of the development of self-care
deficit theory and the use of self-care in nursing practice.
Explanations of the various theories and theory terms are well done
and written at a level that novice theorists can relate to. The
authors demonstrate how self-care science can be fiscally and
effectively applied to the care of patients/clients."--Doody's
Medical Reviews
Dorothea Orem's Self-Care Theory has been used as a foundation
for nursing practice in healthcare institutions and as the basis of
curricula in nursing schools for decades. This book explores the
high-level theory of the application of Orem's Self-Care Theory,
and how it can improve patient outcomes as well as
cost-effectiveness of nursing care delivery. Written for nursing
theorists, researchers, administrators, and graduate students, the
text addresses the relationship of self-care theory and
evidence-based care in nursing, and provides a solution to
improving contemporary healthcare outcomes.
The book is divided into three sections. Section one discusses
the reason for the existence of the nursing profession, and
identifies the performance of self-care. Section two covers three
nursing practice sciences-wholly compensatory nursing, partly
compensatory nursing, and supportive educative nursing. Section
three offer suggestions on how health care organizations can
incorporate this broadened perspective of what constitutes evidence
based practice and on-going research methodology into every-day
delivery of nursing services. Key Features:
Includes case examples to illustrate the application of theory
to nursing practice Provides a current, cost-effective resource for
implementing Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory for effective
evidence-based practice Builds the link between the application of
Orem's Self Care Theory and improved patient and fiscal healthcare
outcomes

A timely reconsideration of the history of photography that places
Black studio photographers, and their subjects, at the center From
photography’s beginnings in the United States, Black studio
photographers operated on the developing edge of popular media to
produce affirming portraits for their clients, as well as a wide
range of photographic work rooted in their communities. Called to
the Camera offers a comprehensive history of this work, from the
nineteenth-century daguerreotypes of James Presley Ball to the
height of Black studios in the mid-twentieth century, and considers
contemporary photographers responding to Black studio traditions
today. In addition to showcasing famous photographers such as Ball,
James Van Der Zee, and Addison Scurlock, this volume brings
attention to dozens of other artists across the country, including
Florestine Perrault Collins, Austin Hansen, and Henry Clay
Anderson. The book features more than one hundred extraordinary
vintage photographs, many of them unique objects and some, like
those by the Hooks Brothers Studio, published here for the first
time. Highlighting Black subjects on both sides of the camera,
Called to the Camera presents a broader and more inclusive history
of photography. Distributed for the New Orleans Museum of Art

The highly anticipated update of the complete textbook of
dermatologic science and practice focusing on the care of patients
with moderately to heavily pigmented skin - 21 new chapters with
more than 900 photographs! Dermatology for Skin of Color, Second
Edition is a comprehensive reference that thoroughly details every
aspect of dermatologic science as it applies to skin of color -
from the development of the skin to the biology of hair and nails.
All commonly encountered dermatologic problems of Africans, Asians,
Arabs, Native Americans, and other peoples are covered, as are
other diseases with significant skin manifestations. This second
edition is significantly expanded with 21 new chapters covering
dermatology for geriatric, adolescent, and pregnant patients, as
well as depigmenting agents, viral infections, cutaneous
manifestation of internal malignancy, neurofibromatosis, tuberous
sclerosis, photoaging, photosensivity, laser treatment for
skin-tightening, toxins and fillers, cosmetic practices in Mexico,
effects of tattooing and piercing, sickle cell disease, drug
eruptions, and the biology of oral mucosa. It also features many
more clinical pictures and improved organization. Extensively
illustrated with more than 900 full-color photos, Dermatology for
Skin of Color provides comprehensive coverage of medical, surgical,
and cosmetic treatment options, pediatric dermatology, differences
between skin of color and Caucasian skin, differences between
ethnic groups with skin of color, and important basic science
information on the structure and function of skin of color. In
addition, folk remedies and over-the-counter treatments
specifically targeting this population are covered.
The expert guide to identifying and understanding the differences
of common dermatology conditions in patients with all skin tones By
2050, it is expected that over nearly half the U.S. population will
have darker skin tones or skin of color, yet physicians are still
being trained to diagnose skin conditions based on white skin.
Unfortunately, dermatologists, medical students, and other health
professionals often inaccurately diagnose skin disease in skin of
color patients due to inadequate training. The perfect
resource for comparative study of dermatologic disorders in skin of
color, Taylor and Elbuluk's Color Atlas and Synopsis for Skin of
Color helps you recognize the differences between skin of color and
Caucasian skin and provide optimal diagnosis of patients with all
skin tones. Through hundreds of color images, this unique guide
illustrates the differences in appearance of common dermatology
conditions between Fitzpatrick’s Skin Type I-III light skin tones
and Fitzpatrick’s Skin Type IV-VI dark skin tones. Taylor and
Elbuluk's provides a comprehensive look at common diseases that
fall into the following categories: Inflammatory/Papulosquamous
Disorders Infections Infestations/Bites Drug Reactions Follicular
Disorders Benign Neoplasms Malignancies Alopecias Pigmentary
Disorders Photosensitivity
This book examines ephemeral exhibitions from 1750 to 1918. In an
era of acceleration and elusiveness, these transient spaces
functioned as microcosms in which reality was shown, simulated,
staged, imagined, experienced and known. They therefore had a
dimension of spectacle to them, as the volume demonstrates. Against
this backdrop, the different chapters deal with a plethora of
spaces and spatial installations: the Wunderkammer, the spectacle
garden, cosmoramas and panoramas, the literary space, the temporary
museum, and the alternative exhibition space.
During the last fifteen years, researchers have shown increasing
interest in the exchange relationship between the employee and
employer. Until now, the literatures examining the employment
relationships have tended to operate either from the employer or
the employee perspectives and have typically approached the topic
from a single discipline be it psychology, sociology, human
resource management, organizational behavior, industrial relations,
law or economics. Failure to consider multiple perspectives has
created a fragmented understanding of the employment relationship.
This volume incorporates social exchange, economics, industrial
relations, legal, and justice theory perspectives. In addition,
chapters have been written by authors that reflect the full
international body of research on the employment relationship and
provide information about legislation, governance, and cultural
differences across nations. The conceptual and empirical
foundations for understanding the employment relationship from
these different theoretical perspectives facilitates the
establishment of the convergent and discriminant validity of the
psychological contract and the investments-contributions models of
the employment relationship in relation to related exchange
constructs such as perceived organizational support and
leader-member exchange. The interdisciplinary and international
nature of the employment relationship literature reviewed and
integrated in this volume provides a richness that is rarely
available in studies of the workplace, and many new and provocative
ideas are presented in this volume. Bringing these perspectives
together provides greater comprehensiveness, clarity, synthesis and
understanding of the employment relationship. This volume is
designed to promote the thinking of scholars in the employment
relationship area. It will also have relevance to practitioners
primarily through the implications of this multi-disciplinary
perspective. The volume offers implications of a holistic,
multi-disciplinary, international, conceptualization of the
employment relationship for theory development, empirical research
and measurement, and policy.

Carmontelle's landmark publication, Garden at Monceau, beautifully
reproduced to show the Parisian garden's artistic and cultural
importance before the French Revolution. Originally published in
1779, Garden at Monceau is a richly illustrated presentation of the
garden Louis Carrogis, known as Carmontelle, designed on the eve of
the French Revolution for Louis-Philippe-Joseph d'Orleans, duc de
Chartres. With its array of architectural follies intended to
surprise and amaze the visitor, the garden was a setting for ancien
regime social life. Carmontelle's portrayal of his work in Garden
at Monceau therefore serves as an expression of a key moment in the
history of European landscape design, garden architecture, and
social history. This facsimile edition, with its English-language
text and reproductions of the original engravings, is accompanied
by essays that interpret the landscape design and examine
Carmontelle's larger career as a painter and theater producer.
