Much of what we know of her emanates from unreliable second-hand accounts and from a misreading of the primary sources. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Based on her writings, \u003ci\u003eFlorence Nightingale at First Hand\u003c\/i\u003e lets the legendary founder of nursing and heroine of the Crimean War speak for herself. Author Lynn McDonald is the editor of the \u003ci\u003eCollected Works of Florence Nightingale\u003c\/i\u003e (WLU Press) and the world’s foremost Nightingale authority. Chapters relate Nightingale’s background, her faith and political creed, her work during Crimean War and its aftermath, on later wars, and on reform in nursing, health care, midwifery, workhouses, hospitals, and India. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublished to commemorate the centenary of Nightingale’s death, this book presents a Florence Nightingale for the twenty-first century: she was a prodigiously astute researcher, a bold systems thinker, and a witty writer well connected with political and intellectual leaders. Her passionate dedication to her causes shines through her writing, making this book a great read.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lynn McDonald","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48291925852411,"sku":"9781554581917","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781554581917.jpg?v=1772484775","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/florence-nightingale-at-first-hand-9781554581917","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
