Detta är den fjärde omarbetade upplagan av trilogin Omvårdnadens grunder. En ny redaktion har tillsatts och samtliga kapitel har reviderats och uppdaterats. Över 100 aktiva forskare och undervisare har bidragit som kapitelförfattare. Ett av de viktigaste syftena med Omvårdnadens grunder är att visa på bredden och variationen i de kunskaper som en blivande sjuksköterska behöver ha. Den läsare som tar del av samtliga kapitel i alla tre böckerna får en unik överblick över omvårdnadsämnet och en solid grund att utgå från i det livslånga lärandet. Ytterligare ett syfte med verket är att tillvarata den omvårdnads- och vårdvetenskapliga forskning som finns i landet och synliggöra den i förhållande till utbildning och praktik. Omvårdnadens grunder är i dag det mest rekommenderade verket för sjuksköterskeprogrammet. Böckerna används vid, i stort sett, samtliga lärosäten som utbildar sjuksköterskor. Att bli sjuksköterska innebär mer än att lära sig tekniska färdigheter – det handlar om att förstå människors behov, att kommunicera med empati och att agera med både kunskap och omdöme i varje möte. Verket ger en heltäckande introduktion till grundläggande omvårdnad och vägleder studenten genom såväl teoretiska modeller som praktiska färdigheter. Omvårdnadens grunder är skriven för sjuksköterskestudenter vid universitet och hög­-skolor. Verket är skrivet som kurslitteratur för att följa studenten under utbildningens alla tre år. Böckerna läses utan inbördes ordning.

Stora anhörigboken samlar insikter från en bredd av ledande experter inom området anhörigomsorg. Den belyser anhörigas betydelsefulla roll och den belastning de upplever i sina strävanden att tillhanda­hålla omsorg, kontinuitet och kärlek när samhällets resurser inte räcker till. Boken lyfter fram riskerna för anhörigas egen hälsa, deras ekonomiska utsatthet och sociala stigmatisering samt den betydande överrepresentationen av kvinnor som vårdare. Genom att belysa vikten av ett mer organiserat samhällsstöd för anhöriga och erkänna deras plats som samhällsbärande grupp, erbjuder boken en djup­gående diskussion om en oundviklig aspekt av livet – att vara anhörig. Stora anhörigboken vänder sig till alla som i sitt nuvarande eller framtida yrke möter personer som är just anhöriga oavsett orsak till anhörigskapet.

"Elizabeth Hanson's captivity narrative reveals the difficulties New England families faced...after captivity among the Indians." - Abraham in Arms: War and Gender in Colonial New England (2013) "As in the Puritan captivities, Hanson was taken from her house with her children...subjected to terrible suffering on the trail." - The Oxford Handbook of Early American Literature (2008) "Hunger, a primary concern of many captives, is the focal condition in Hanson's account." -Captive Selves, Captivating Others: The Politics And Poetics Of Colonial American Captivity Narratives (2018) "Not the most well-known colonial captivity narrative, but it was sufficiently popular before 1800 to go through 13 editions." - Authority and Female Authorship in Colonial America (2021) How did this heroic 18th century New Hampshire Quaker woman survive five months of harrowing captivity among the hostile Wabanaki tribe, eventually to be reunited with her surviving children? In 1760, the short 40-page book authored by former captive Elizabeth Hanson(1684-1737) would be published posthumously under the title "An Account of the Captivity of Elizabeth Hanson." Elizabeth Hanson (September 17, 1684-c1737) was a colonial Anglo-American woman from Dover, New Hampshire, who survived Native American Abenaki capture and captivity in the year 1725 alongside four of her children. Five months after capture, a French family ransomed Elizabeth and her two children in Canada. Her husband was then able to secure them and find another daughter before having to return home, leaving the eldest daughter, Sarah, behind. Elizabeth's captivity narrative became popular because of its detailed insights into Native American captivity, which was a threat to the people in New England due to the almost constant wars with the Native Americans and French in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Her religious take on her experiences was heavily emphasized in her story. Because Elizabeth and her family were Quakers, they refused to take refuge in the garrison when the Abenaki first attacked their area during Dummer's War. Elizabeth and four of her children, Sarah, Elizabeth Jr, Daniel, and her two week old daughter, were taken from her home in Dover, New Hampshire on August 27, 1724. They were held captive by Native Americans until early 1725.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars. The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.

When Hamlet complains that Guildenstern 'would pluck out the heart of [his] mystery', he imagines an encounter that recurs insistently in the discourses of early modern England. The struggle by one man to discover the secrets in another's heart is rehearsed not only in plays but in legal records, correspondence, philosophical writing and contemporary social description. In this book Elizabeth Hanson argues that the construction of other people as objects of discovery signalled a reconceptualizing of the 'subject' in both the political and philosophical sense of the term. She examines the records of state torture, plays by Shakespeare and Jonson, 'cony-catching' pamphlets and Francis Bacon's philosophical writing, to demonstrate that the subject was both under suspicion and empowered in this period. Her account revises earlier attempts to locate the emergence of modern subjectivity in the Renaissance, arguing for a more nuanced and localized understanding of the relationship with its medieval past.

On a rainy day in May 1988, a lowland gorilla named Willie B. stepped outdoors for the first time in twenty-seven years, into a new landscape immersion exhibit. Born in Africa, Willie B. had been captured by an animal collector and sold to a zoo. During the decades he spent in a cage, zoos stopped collecting animals from the wild and Americans changed the ways they wished to view animals in the zoo. Zoos developed new displays to simulate landscapes like the Amazon River basin and African forests. Exhibits similar to animals' natural habitats began to replace old-fashioned animal houses. But such displays are only the most recent effort of zoos to present their audiences with an authentic experience of nature. Since the first zoological park opened in the United States in Philadelphia in 1874, zoos have promised their visitors a journey into the natural world. And for more than a century they have been popular places for education and recreation: every year more than 130 million Americans go to zoos to look at the animals and enjoy a day outdoors. The first book-length history of American zoos, Animal Attractions examines the meaning of nature in the city by looking at the ways zoos have assembled and displayed their animal collections. Situated literally and culturally in the American middle landscape, zoos are concrete expressions of longstanding tensions between wildness and civilization, science and popular culture, education and entertainment. In their efforts to promote nature appreciation, they reveal much about how our culture envisions the natural world and the human place in it and how these ideas have changed.
