Paperback. Zustand: Good. 1915 to 1918 was a tumultuous period of Chinese history. In 1912, the 250-year-old Qing dynasty had been overthrown and powerful generals and political leaders were vying for power. Warlords and rebel armies were ranging the countryside; there was no effective central government, and foreign businessmen and missionaries were walled in well-defended compounds.In the midst of this chaos, a twenty-four-year-old college graduate named James Archibald Mitchell, landed in Shanghai to teach English at St John's University, the so-called Harvard of the East.Mitchell was an avid diarist, a skilled photographer and an acute observer of local customs, and whenever he had time off he set out to explore the country, the presence of warring armies and travel difficulties notwithstanding.Arch, as he was known, was brought up in Centreville, Maryland, the son of a popular Episcopalian minster, and was educated at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut. He was essentially a country boy, a dyed-in-the wool American with no international experience, and the storied Orient was both an inspiration and a shock to him. But as he makes clear in an early journal, his intention was to record what he saw with an objective, eye --- not an easy task for one so deeply schooled in Christianized Western culture.What emerged over the course of three years, is a very personal account of his time in China during the Warlord Period in both words and photographs, a record of peasant life, boat families, climbing and hunting expeditions, and above all, exquisite images of the Chinese people and their land.Apart from being a good, entertaining read and visual documentation, Travels in a Vanishing Empire is record of everyday Chinese life, an aspect of history that is not well covered in books about this period.It is also, although unstated, an account of the moral growth of an individual. Mitchell's travels reinforced his earliest feelings about people different than himself. He told one of his nephews after he returned home that he would now look at a person and see only another human being. After his return from the East, he joined the ministry and went on to become an early civil-rights activist.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. The North preserved its secrets for long. The ancient Greeks called the remote and extreme north 'Thule'. The Arctic zone was the last on earth for man to explore and chart. Ultima Thule narrates the 2500 year long history of explorations of the northern areas from Pytheas to Peary, from antiquity through the Vikings and the great journeys of exploration to the conquest of the North Pole. The unknown North is described through the daring adventures of such early sailors as Erik the Red, Barents and Bering or explorers of the wilds like Chelyuskin and Franklin. The journeys of the great scientific explorers - Cook, Nordenskiöld and Amudsen - remind the reader of the bravery of those who set their sights towards the uncharted North. With 260 unique illustrations of excellent quality, Ultima Thule - Arctic Explorations provides an indispensable survey and source of information on the discovering of the extreme North. Ultima Thule also recounts the history of northern cartography and navigation; how the mythical north gradually took shape on maps, to become part of the European world picture. For the first time this book studies broadly - with the aid of unpublished drawings and charts - Arctic expeditions from both East and West. Richly illustrated book published alongside the exhibition in Tennis Palace, Helsinki on 17.10.2001-30.3.2002. Text in English. 349 pp.…

That tradition is vividly portrayed in Gardens of Georgia, commissioned by the Garden Club of Georgia, Inc., to commemorate its sixtieth anniversary and to celebrate the heritage and beauty of Georgia's gardens.As noted by Georgia founder James Oglethorpe in 1732, Georgia has a happy climate. From the broad-shouldered mountains of the Blue Ridge, through the red clay of the rolling piedmont, across the sprawling piney coastal plain, and on to the subtropical islands on the Atlantic, Georgia is blessed with four regions of gardening opportunities, distinctly defined by differences in elevation, climate, soil, and natural vegetation.Writer William Mitchell and photographer Richard Moore have portrayed the wonders of gardens historic and contemporary, public and private, and urban, suburban, and rural from each of these regions. Whether illustrating overall gardenscapes or capturing intimate vignettes and individual blossoms, Richard Moore's photographs have a depth of color and clarity of detail that immerse the reader into a world of delightful splendor. The text by Willaim Mitchell not only describes the settings as they are today, but also spins a rich background of history in the context of the botanical Eden observed by early explorers.The richest legacy of each generation is to preserve and protect an always vulnerable natural environment and help nature bring forth its green and glowing cycles of rebirth. Gardens of Georgia celebrates that legacy, sharing the ongoing dream of paradise--a new Eden--whether it is in a grand formal garden from an earlier era or a small plot of perennials in a Georgia yard. ; FINE/FINE.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Hospital medicine moves fast. The decisions you make during the first hours of admission can shape the entire course of a patient's hospitalization. The Foundation and Art of Hospital Medicine is a practical, clinically focused handbook designed to help readers approach inpatient care with greater structure, efficiency, and confidence. Built around high-yield cases, admissions, and real-world clinical decision-making, this 2026-2027 guide bridges the gap between textbook knowledge and the realities of managing hospitalized patients. Hospital medicine is more than diagnosing disease. It requires clinicians to rapidly evaluate complex presentations, prioritize competing problems, interpret investigations, coordinate multidisciplinary care, anticipate deterioration, and plan safe transitions from admission through discharge. This handbook focuses on those essential skills. FROM ADMISSION TO DISCHARGE Readers will develop a practical framework for approaching the questions that arise every day on the wards: What needs immediate attention What belongs on the differential Which investigations are actually useful What should be treated now What can wait When should care be escalated What must happen before this patient can safely leave the hospital Key areas include: - Common hospital admissions and high-yield inpatient presentations- Structured history, assessment, and differential diagnosis- Practical approaches to clinical decision-making- Recognition of deterioration and important inpatient red flags- Interpretation of commonly encountered laboratory and diagnostic findings- Managing patients with multiple simultaneous medical problems- Effective use of consultations and multidisciplinary teams- Prioritization during rounds, cross-cover, and busy clinical shifts- Discharge planning, transitions of care, and prevention of avoidable readmission>BUILT FOR THE REALITIES OF INPATIENT MEDICINE A hospitalized patient rarely arrives with one perfectly defined problem. Pneumonia may coexist with kidney dysfunction. Heart failure may be complicated by infection. Medications may contribute to new symptoms. An apparently stable patient can deteriorate unexpectedly. The successful hospitalist must learn to connect the problems, prioritize risk, and continually reassess the plan.That is the art of hospital medicine.>The Foundation and Art of Hospital Medicine is for readers who want more than memorized facts-they want to understand how to think through hospitalized patients from admission to discharge. Recognize the problem. Prioritize the risks. Make informed decisions. Coordinate the care. Become stronger at the bedside.…
