Akademisierung des Hebammenwesens
Bavaria was the last federal state to implement the full academization of the midwifery profession. The study HebSzen describes this phase of change in the present volume. The author investigates the relationship between non-clinical midwifery knowledge and academic teaching. Empirically, she explores how practically conserved knowledge has been incorporated into teaching to date and how it can be passed on in the university context in the future.

‘Barbara Pym is one of my most favourite novelists. Few other writers have given me more laughter and more pleasure’ - Jilly Cooper ‘I'm a huge fan of Barbara Pym’ - Richard Osman ‘Could one write a book based on one’s diaries over thirty years? I certainly have enough material,’ wrote Barbara Pym. This book, selected from the diaries, notebooks and letters of this much-loved novelist to form a continuous narrative, is indeed a unique autobiography, providing a privileged insight into a writer’s mind.

Barbara Pym
"In 1977 Barbara Pym was mentioned twice by both Philip Larkin and Lord David Cecil in a Times Literary Supplement survey of the most underrated writers of the century, leading to a rediscovery of her life and works that has continued to this day. Her reputation as a wry satirist has grown steadily ... Just after what would have been her 100th birthday, her books remain in print and are now glowingly received and well-loved ... From the acknowledged early classic Excellent Women to the universally refected (and later resurrected) An Unsuitable Attachment, so out of kilter with the gritty social realism of the 1960s, all are held up to an affectionate scrutiny. Ann Allstree draws parallels between Pym's life (and the people she shares it with) and her novels, illuminating why she made certain choices in her fiction"--Publisher's description.

The Life and Times of Barbara
Twenty years ago I began organizing and compiling my memoirs and have about one hundred volumes put together. They were a great resource for writing my story, along with the dozens of photo albums of family pictures and outings over the years. No one is likely to read through 100 volumes, so it was time to reduce them to the size of a book. Family, genealogy, trips we have taken, history of inventions, reading and photography are some of the interests I have shared.
