Paperback. Zustand: Good. In this collection, 65 nurses from places as diverse as California and Alaska, South America and Europe, tell us in tough, revealing poems and prose what it's like to be on the front lines of health care. These nurses, both men and women, speak to us from intensive care units and operating rooms, from patients' homes and storefront clinics, from hospitals with the latest technology to small clinics in the steamy jungles of Nicaragua. They tell us what it's like to walk in their shoes and see the drama of illness and healing unfold before their eyes. The nurses in this anthology write to hold fast to a patient's memory, to say what it's like when a nurse becomes the caregiver to a family member, or to tell what happens when a nurse becomes a patient, suddenly confronting mortality from the other end of the stethoscope. They share with us what is almost impossible to talk about - how being present with a patient can transform not only that patient's life but the nurse's life as well. This work is a contribution to the medical humanities canon and to literature as a whole.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. What nurses know about care giving is different from what doctors and families know. The nurses in this collection talk about inpatients, outpatients, and home patients; these patients' attendants are young and old, female and, increasingly, male. Some of the nurses are dispassionately efficient; others wickedly admit to the excitement of voyeurism; all have unusual access to the depths and shallows of human emotion. By unsentimentally translating our suffering into prose and poetry, the nurses in Between the Heartbeats performs another enduring act of loving care. The forty-nine registered nurses in this brave, graceful, first-ever anthology represent thousands more. Their words expand the practice of nursing and the practice of language. By beating witness to the intimate details of nursing, from the mundane to the beautiful to the tragic, they reveal the epiphanies of life and death.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Tracing the troubled roots of American capitalism and imperialism Coedited by noted Masters scholar, Jason Stacy, and his class, "Editing History," this annotated edition of Edgar Lee Masters's The New Star Chamber and Other Essays reappears at a perilous time in US history, when large corporations and overseas conflicts once again threaten the integrity of American rights and liberties, and the United States still finds itself beholden to corporate power and the legacy of imperial hubris. In speaking to his times, Masters also speaks to ours. These thirteen essays lay bare the political ideology that informed Spoon River Anthology. Masters argues that the dangerous imperialism championed by then-President Theodore Roosevelt was rooted in the Constitution itself. By debating the ethics of the Philippine-American War, criticizing Hamiltonian centralization of government, and extolling the virtues of Jeffersonian individualism, Masters elucidates the ways in which America had strayed from its constitutional morals and from democracy itself. The result is a compelling critique of corporate capitalism and burgeoning American imperialism, as well as an exemplary source for understanding its complicated author in the midst of his transformation from urban lawyer to poet of rural America. In print again for the first time since 1904, this edition includes an introduction and historical annotations throughout. Edited and annotated by students at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and designed and illustrated by students at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, this volume traces economic and political pathologies to the origins of the American republic. The New Star Chamber and Other Essays is as vital now as it was over 100 years ago. …
