Professor Cromer Learns to Read
When a harrowing heart attack and cardiac arrest robbed Alan's brain of vital oxygen, he lost his abilities to read, write, walk, talk, think, and remember.

So began seven years of intensive rehabilitation, re-creation, and redefining priorities and goals. Alan also faced the huge challenge of shaping a new identity and life. Above all, our book is the story of a marriage that transforms and triumphs, but is never defeated by catastrophic illness. In a memoir brimming with information, Janet explores the mysteries and miracles of their new world from her per...

Ethics in Nursing
The aim of this book is to provide practicing and student nurses with a useful introduction to the identification and analysis of ethical issues that reflect both the special perspective of nursing and the value of systematic philosophical inquiry. Starting with cases based on real life, the authors identify and draw on relevant principles, concepts, distinctions, and reasoning in thinking them through.
The Love Knot
The Love Knot is devoted primarily to the partner's side of the cancer story. It is Robert Ross's gift to those who live with the fear, the pain, the uncertainty, and possible loss of the person they love most in the world. Many books have been written on how to be a cancer survivor, on how to make the necessary accommodations to cancer without being defeated by it, on how not to act the victim. Not surprisingly, these books have been written primarily for the person who actually has cancer, but the intrusion of a life-threatening illness like cancer touches a circle of people far beyond the person who has cancer.
The COVID Pandemic: Essays, Book Reviews, and Poems
This book contains several critical essays, book reviews, and poems that address the current pandemic to mark a sad but hopeful first anniversary of COVID. Similar to many academic journals, the Journal of Medical Humanities, in which these contributions were first published, has received a number of submissions during the first year of the pandemic relating directly to it. In the early months, the journal saw an unprecedented number of poetry submissions from physicians who seemed to be turning to verse as a way to memorialize what was happening, to find ways of healing from the devastating number of dying patients, and to capture the exhaustion and anxiety of caring for others day after da...

French Daguerreotypes
Upon its introduction in 1839, the daguerreotype was hailed as a magical reflection of reality. Today, these early examples of the first practical photographic process offer fascinating windows into the past. The daguerreotypes collected here not only document the birth of photography and its aesthetic and historical legacy but also provide insight into French art and culture. Lavishly illustrated, this volume is the first complete catalog of the French daguerreotype collection of the International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House. Janet E. Buerger uses this remarkable collection of images to produce a cultural history of the daguerreotype's most learned following—an elite group of mid-nineteenth-century intellectuals who sought to understand and develop the usefulness, potential, and beauty of this camera image. This varied group, including entrepreneurs, painters, scientists, and historians, enables Buerger to trace the influence of photography into virtually every area of nineteenth-century European intellectual life.
