Florence Nightingale’s seminal work, the classical historical nursing text. Florence Nightingale wrote Notes on Nursing to help ordinary women care for their families. Translated into over ten languages, and never out of print since its first appearance, this really is the classic nursing text. Over 160 years later much of the advice given continues to be pertinent in the extreme, especially in the light of the recent global pandemic. Published in conjunction with - and including a foreword by - the Florence Nightingale Museum. The cover of this edition is exclusive to the museum. -

A History of Nursing explores the history of nursing by investigating the earliest records of the caring profession, how it progressed and what established it along the way to becoming the nursing we see today. It starts at the beginning of the story - how, once upon a time, all we had to depend on was Mother Nature. How did nursing go from being knowledge handed down through ancient scripts, folklore and sometimes by accident, to the degree-level, accountable practice of modern times? And why do nurses not wear hats anymore? A History of Nursing answers all these questions and more. -

Winner of the Elizabeth Longford Prize for Historical Biography, Mark Bostridge’s Florence Nightingale is a masterful and enjoyable biography of one of Britain’s most iconic heroines. Whether honoured and admired or criticized and ridiculed, Florence Nightingale has invariably been misrepresented and misunderstood. As the Lady with the Lamp, ministering to the wounded and dying of the Crimean War, she offers an enduring image of sentimental appeal and one that is permanently lodged in our national consciousness. But the awesome scale of her achievements over the course of her 90 years is infinitely more troubling – and inspiring – than this mythical simplification. -
