Nightingale’s recommendations for a revision of the Bible for schoolchildren and excerpts from her devotional reading are given. \u003cbr\u003e  Currently, Volumes 1 to 11 are available in e-book version by subscription or from university and college libraries through the following vendors: Canadian Electronic Library, Ebrary, MyiLibrary, and Netlibrary. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cb\u003eThe Series\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e  In the \u003ci\u003eCollected Works of Florence Nightingale\u003c\/i\u003e all the surviving writing of Florence Nightingale will be published, much of it for the first time. Known as the heroine of the Crimean War and the major founder of the modern profession of nursing, Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) will be revealed also as a scholar, theorist and social reformer of enormous scope and importance. \u003cbr\u003e  Original material has been obtained from over 150 archives and private collections worldwide. This abundance of material will be reflected in the series, revealing a significant amount of new material on her philosophy, theology and personal spiritual journey, as well as on her vision of a public health care system, her activism to achieve the difficult early steps of nursing for the sick poor in workhouse infirmaries and her views on health promotion and women’s control over midwifery. Nightingale’s more than forty years of work for public health in India, particularly in famine prevention and for broader social reform, will be reported in detail. \u003cbr\u003e  The \u003ci\u003eCollected Works of Florence Nightingale\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates Nightingale’s astute use of the political process and reports on her extensive correspondence with royalty, viceroys, cabinet ministers and international leaders, including such notables as Queen Victoria and W.E. Gladstone. Much new material on Nightingale’s family is reported, including some that will challenge her standard portrayal in the secondary literature. \u003cbr\u003e  Sixteen printed volumes are scheduled and will record her enormous and largely unpublished correspondence, previously published books, articles and pamphlets, many of which have long been out of print. \u003cbr\u003e  There will be full publication in electronic form, permitting readers to easily pursue their particular interests. Extensive databases, notably a chronology and a names index, will also be published in electronic form, again permitting convenient access to persons interested not only in Nightingale but in other figures of the time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lynn McDonald","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48295470563579,"sku":"9780889203716","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9780889203716_6fbd00e8-adb0-42e5-97a4-107e548e31b1.jpg?v=1772483331","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/florence-nightingales-theology-essays-letters-and-journal-notes-9780889203716","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
