Do nurses still care? In today's inflexible, fast-paced and more
accountable workplace where biomedical and clinical models dominate
health care practice, is there room for emotional labour? Based on
original empirical research, this book delves into personal
accounts of nurses' emotion expressions and experiences as they
emerge from everyday nursing practice, and illustrates how their
emotional labour is adapting in response to a constantly changing
work environment. The book begins by re-examining Arlie
Hochschild's sociological notion of emotional labour, and combines
it with Margaret Archer's understanding of emotion and the inner
dialogue. In an exploration of the nature of emotional labour, its
historical and political context, and providing original, but
easily recognisable, typology, Catherine Theodosius emphasises that
it is emotion - complex, messy and opaque - that drives emotional
labour within health care. She suggests that rather than being
marginalised, emotional labour in nursing is frequently found in
places that are hidden or unrecognised. By understanding emotion
itself, which is fundamentally interactive and communicative, she
argues that emotional labour is intrinsically linked to personal
and social identity. The suggestion is made that the nursing
profession has a responsibility to include emotional labour within
personal and professional development strategies to ensure the care
needs of the vulnerable are met. This innovative volume will be of
interest to nursing, health care and sociology students,
researchers and professionals.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

In this volume, the product of decades of study and research,
the world's foremost geneticist surveys the major developments in
what is emerging as the most important single area of scientific
inquiry in the twentieth century: biological theory of evolution in
particular.
Noting that the theory of evolution in biology is more than a
century old, Dr. Dobzhansky points out that it is nevertheless only
in recent times that our knowledge of its physical basis as well as
our understanding of its dynamics has progressed greatly. Yet, he
notes, new problems have replaced the older ones at the forefront
of scientific inquiry, problems which require entirely new
approaches. It is to these manifold and exciting new questions that
the author brings a lifetime of experience.
Throughout, his goal is to create not a summary of all the
available literature, nor a professional book written only for the
scientific community, but rather a presentation of basic ideas,
accompanied by the indispensable references which would enable
interested readers to pursue the matter further. The book has been
purposely kept short to enable it to be read as a whole, and above
all, it has been written in a manner which will hold the attention
as well as inform both the general reader and the professionally
concerned scientist.
Featuring an introduction by Stephen Jay Gould, "Genetics and
the Origin of Species" presents the first edition of Dobzhansky's
groundbreaking and now classic inquiry into what has emerged as the
most important single area of scientific inquiry in the twentieth
century: biological theory of evolution. Genetics and the Origin of
Species went through three editions (1937, 1941, and 1951) in which
the importance accorded natural selection changed radically.
