Livet
Våren 1968 är Åsa Moberg tjugo år gammal. Hon bor med den sjutton år äldre dokumentärfilmaren Tor-Ivan Odulf i ett litet hus i Vita bergen utan rinnande vatten. Gymnasiet har hon hoppat av - livet kan inte börja fort nog. Åsa har bestämt sig för att bli textilkonstnärinna. Över världen drar ett ungdomsuppror fram. När Gunnar Myrdal i Dagens Nyheter skriver att de unga borde gå ut i strid i Vietnam i stället för att demonstrera hemma sätter sig Åsa Moberg vid skrivmaskinen. I mars det året publiceras hennes första artikel på Aftonbladets kultursida. Texten är en uppgörelse med de äldres självgodhet och gör henne omedelbart till en röst för en ny generation. Allts...

Florence Nightingale: Extending Nursing
Although Florence Nightingale is famous as a nurse, her lifetime’s writing on nursing and to nurses is scarcely known in the profession. Nursing professors tend to “look to the future, not to the past,” and often ignore her or rely on faulty secondary sources. Volume 12 related the founding of her school at St Thomas’ Hospital and her guidance of its teaching for the rest of her life. Volume 13, Extending Nursing, relates the introduction of professional training and standards outside St Thomas’, beginning with London hospitals and others in Britain, followed by hospitals in Europe, America, Australia and Canada. Also presented is material on work in India, Japan and China. The challenge of raising standards in the tough workhouse infirmaries is reported, as is Nightingale’s fostering of district nursing. A chronology in this volume provides a convenient overview of Nightingales work on nursing from 1860 to 1900. Both volumes give biographical sketches of key nursing leaders.
