Florence Nightingale’s Sister
They say that behind every great man is a hard-working woman. Behind the titanic that was Florence Nightingale, there was a lesser-known sister, Frances Parthenope. While Florence achieved iconic fame for her work with wounded soldiers in the Crimea, Parthenope spent her days gathering supplies for those same soldiers, especially the ever-needed dry socks, and sending them overseas. With hands badly damaged by rheumatic fever, Parthenope tirelessly penned letters to Florence’s supporters and tactfully requested donations. Eventually, Parthenope married and turned her writing talents to fiction and non-fiction that exposed Victorian injustices toward the poor and women. Florence Nightingale’s older sister never achieved the fame that came to the “Lady of the Lamp.” However, in her own right, Frances Parthenope Verney was a great Victorian. A novelist, journalist, and activist, she supported her sister’s reform of the medical profession while being a thought influencer on the subject of the urban poor and the British peasantry.

Blood In The Water
In October 2016, Lynn Hamilton found herself doubled over a sidewalk experiencing her second anxiety attack. That was the impact of the threats and subterfuge from work colleagues she once thought she could trust. And her story is by no means unique. Though few of their stories are known, thousands of people experience bullying in the workplace. Fear of retaliation, a desire to forget, or a lack of evidence are just some of the reasons why these stories remain hidden. Divided into four gripping sections, this memoir delves deep into Hamilton's harrowing lived experience. From deteriorating trust and collaboration with her manager and coworkers, to the insomnia that then began to cloud her judgement, Hamilton spares no detail in the recount of her torment and abuse. With courage and help, Hamilton finally chose to speak up. Would there be a breakthrough? "Blood in the Water" is a raw and powerful testament to resilience, highlighting the importance of addressing workplace bullying and the profound lessons that emerge from the depths of adversity.
Reconceptualizing Teaching Practice
Over the past ten years there has been increased interest in research on various aspects of teacher education, ranging from the preparation of teachers to continuing professional development.

This book addresses a variety of issues surrounding the field of inquiry into teaching practice that has become known as 'self-study', equivalent in many ways to the 'action research' movement, but at tertiary level.
