An insightful biography of the pioneering conservationist, illustrator, prolific author, and creator of Peter Rabbit and other legendary tales. Beatrix Potter was born curious, with an imagination and a love of natural science and animals that would serve her well. When her self-published and self-illustrated first book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, was picked up by an enterprising publisher, Beatrix’s modest “bunny book” would become a phenomenon. After more than a century, Beatrix Potter endures as one of the most cherished children’s book authors in literary history. But what were the sources of inspiration that gave birth to her beloved anthropomorphic characters and enduring cautionary tales? Through extensive research, personal letters, and photographs, this concise and intimate biography reveals Beatrix’s privileged yet restrictive Victorian childhood; her volatile relationship with her mother; a tragic love affair with her editor; her sometimes debilitating depression and illnesses; her life and career beyond Peter Rabbit; and her liberation as a passionate, driven, trailblazing, and simply original creative spirit.
A interprofissionalidade se coloca como a ocasião em que duas ou mais categorias profissionais atuam com, entre e junto para promover a integração de saberes que oportunizem um cuidado qualificado e centrado no usuário, família e/ou comunidade, trazendo ganhos para a atenção em saúde. Pensar a interprofissionalidade diz respeito a refletir sobre os modos como os processos de trabalho são tecidos e, a partir disso, são gerados aprendizados na atuação em equipe e junto à comunidade para alcance das respostas necessárias. O livro Interprofissionalidade e práticas colaborativas: experiências na formação e no trabalho em saúde é fruto da atuação dos grupos tutoriais interprofissionais no território e na gestão em saúde. Espera-se que as experiências evidenciem a potência do trabalho colaborativo em saúde, incentivando a ampliação dos olhares e perspectivas possíveis a serem implementadas e que são capazes de transformar as ações no campo da formação e do trabalho em saúde no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), numa dimensão voltada ao cuidado integral em saúde realizado a partir da integração de saberes e práticas profissionais em saúde.
