Book Description
______________________________ The huge word-of-mouth bestseller – completely updated for 2019 THE LONDON THAT TOURISTS DON’T SEE Look beyond Big Ben and past the skyscrapers of the Square Mile, and you will find another London. This is the land of long-forgotten tube stations, burnt-out mansions and gently decaying factories. Welcome to DERELICT LONDON: a realm whose secrets are all around us, visible to anyone who cares to look . . . Paul Talling – our best-loved investigator of London’s underbelly – has spent over fifteen years uncovering the stories of this hidden world. Now, he brings together 100 of his favourite abandoned places from across the capital: many of them more magnificent, more beautiful and more evocative than you can imagine. Covering everything from the overgrown stands of Leyton Stadium to the windswept alleys of the Aylesbury Estate, DERELICT LONDON reveals a side of the city you never knew existed. It will change the way you see London. ______________________________ PRAISE FOR THE DERELICT LONDON PROJECT ‘Fascinating images showing some of London’s eeriest derelict sites show another side to the busy, built-up capital.’ Daily Mail ‘Talling has managed to show another side to the capital, one of abandoned buildings that somehow retain a sense of beauty.’ Metro ‘Excellent . . . As much as it is an inadvertent vision of how London might look after a catastrophe, DERELICT LONDON is valuable as a document of the one going on right in front of us.’ New Statesman ‘From the iconic empty shell of Battersea Power Station to the buried ‘ghost’ stations of the London Underground, the city is peppered with decaying buildings. Paul Talling knows these places better than anyone in the capital.’ Daily Express ‘[London has an] unusual (and deplorable) number of abandoned buildings. Paul Talling’s surprise bestseller, DERELICT LONDON, is their shabby Pevsner.’ Daily Telegraph ______________________________

Florence Nightingale: The Crimean War
Author: Lynn McDonaldPublisher: Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press
ISBN: 1554587476
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 1098
Book Description
Florence Nightingale is famous as the “lady with the lamp” in the Crimean War, 1854—56. There is a massive amount of literature on this work, but, as editor Lynn McDonald shows, it is often erroneous, and films and press reporting on it have been even less accurate. The Crimean War reports on Nightingale’s correspondence from the war hospitals and on the staggering amount of work she did post-war to ensure that the appalling death rate from disease (higher than that from bullets) did not recur. This volume contains much on Nightingale’s efforts to achieve real reforms. Her well-known, and relatively “sanitized”, evidence to the royal commission on the war is compared with her confidential, much franker, and very thorough Notes on the Health of the British Army, where the full horrors of disease and neglect are laid out, with the names of those responsible.
A History of Britain's Hospitals
Author: G. Barry CarruthersPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 446
Book Description
"Hospital superbugs are nothing new. For centuries patients were more likely to die from an infection picked up in hospital than from their original disease. Indeed, hospitals used to be called 'gateways of death'. Massaging league tables by concentrating on minor operations? Not a recent innovation, either. At one time, hospitals refused to admit patients likely to die, and never attempted major surgery." "Barry and Lesley Carruthers provide many such startling parallels in their fascinating look at the development of Britain's hospitals, from a Roman field hospital to the keyhole surgery of today. There are also wonderful stories of individual dedication, such as the GP who found a girl dying in a London street and took her to three hospitals - all of which refused to admit her as she did not have the necessary governor's letter - so he founded what become know as the 'Free Hospital'." "Divided into chapters on such vital topics as mental hospitals, nursing, and the National Health Service, this history celebrates not only medical and logistical advances, but also the individual contributions of the men and women who worked to provide an accessible hospital service for all."--BOOK JACKET.
A History of Radionuclide Studies in the UK
Author: Ralph McCreadyPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 9783319286235
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The British Nuclear Medicine Society celebrates its 50th Anniversary with this booklet, which reflects the research of many of the pioneers in the use of radionuclides for the diagnosis and therapy of human disease. Since 1949 there have been remarkable advances in radionuclide techniques and imaging equipment: from the first devices “home-made” in the many physics departments throughout the UK, to the sophisticated multimodality imagers now in everyday use in Nuclear Medicine. The BNMS has been instrumental in promoting the use of radionuclide techniques in the investigation of pathology by supporting and providing education, research and guidelines on the optimum use of radiation to help patients. The future of Nuclear Medicine is bright, thanks to improved imaging resolution, new radiopharmaceuticals, and new diagnostic and therapeutic techniques and procedures.
