Nurses and Nursing (Britain’s Heritage)
Nurses and nursing are firmly rooted in Britain’s heritage, for the profession as we know it today owes much to the pioneering work of Florence Nightingale. Before she helped establish the first nurse training school in Liverpool in the late 1800s, the women who looked after the sick were a motley mix. The role of the nurse has developed from the untrained handywoman and private nurse, through the early nurses who acted as ‘health missioners’, to the highly trained professionals we recognise today. Nurse training has evolved to reflect the advances in medical treatment and nurses have been able to engage more widely with the community by undergoing additional training as, for example, district nurses, school nurses, midwives, health visitors and mental health nurses. During both world wars, nurses made a special contribution on the home front and overseas. Using first-hand accounts from nurses through the ages, Susan Cohen takes us on a nostalgic journey through the history of nurses and nursing in Britain, from the pre-Nightingale days through to the post-NHS era. This book is part of the Britain’s Heritage series, which provides definitive introductions to the riches of Britain’s past, and is the perfect way to get acquainted with nurses and nursing in all their variety.Read more

Fit For Purpose: The best book on opening and running your own gym. (Gym Business, Fitness Startup, Managing Gym, Opening Gym, Gym Classes,)
I wrote this book to share my extensive experience in opening and running a successful gym.
We opened our first CrossFit gym in November 2014 in the City of London and it quickly became a wonderful success – so much so that we opened our second gym in December 2017. I hope to share this story with others, to inspire and guide them with practical insights on this business and the world of fitness.My prospective readers are other ambitious fitness professionals who are hungry to open their own dream gym. This book will save them from stress and confusion and will provide them with clarity, structure and a far deeper understanding of the fitness business. The book covers all aspects of planning a new gym and then looks at running that gym once it is opened. I want other people to benefit from my experience. I want them to be able to avoid unnecessary mistakes and have complete awareness of all essential parts of the gym business. By having a good structure and clear overall picture of what they need to focus on, they will be calmer, more confident in their actions and their efforts will be smarter and directed wisely. Because of this, I had to write this book! I’ll be very pleased to see other happy gym business owners who are doing well – hopefully at least partly, because of my book. I want to leave a legacy, I don’t want to take my experience with me and never share it.
My book is divided into two parts. “Before opening the doors” and “After opening the doors for the first time”.
The first part focusses on:
- What we had to go through to secure the premises
- How we raised the money and attracted investors for our dream project
- What was important in picking the right space
- What fitness concept to run so we positively impacted as many people as possible and simultaneously made the most of our premises
- How we branded and designed our small cozy gym
- What equipment we purchased
- What marketing strategies we executed in order to build our subscription membership
- And many other elements which were crucial in setting up the gym.
The second part of my book focusses on the actual running of the gym, after we opened the doors for the first time. Running a gym is very different from opening and setting up a gym. There are different skills needed for both parts of the business process. One person may be great at setting up the gym but a very poor manager who struggles to deal with all the day-to-day tasks and people management.
Both parts are challenging but for very different reasons. I describe:
- How important it is to find and pick the right coaches
- The importance of the role the coaches play in our business
- How important the manager is in keeping caring staff onboard
- What successful fitness programming should include
- The importance of communication within staff and with members
- The enormous impact of building a community
- Which essential booking and payment systems to have
- Which marketing channels we engaged with to really spread the word about our amazing gym, fitness concept and community
- And many other things which together complete an elegant and well-functioning business.
This book is a must for any ambitious people who dream about having their own gym, living life on their terms, taking charge and making a difference to many people along the way. Take action and download this book now

The Facemaker: One Surgeon’s Battle to Mend the Disfigured Soldiers of World War I
THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
Best Books of the Year, Guardian
The poignant story of the visionary surgeon who rebuilt the faces of the First World War’s injured heroes, and in the process ushered in the modern era of plastic surgery
From the moment the first machine gun rang out over the Western Front, one thing was clear: mankind’s military technology had wildly surpassed its medical capabilities. The war’s new weaponry, from tanks to shrapnel, enabled slaughter on an industrial scale, and given the nature of trench warfare, thousands of soldiers sustained facial injuries. Medical advances meant that more survived their wounds than ever before, yet disfigured soldiers did not receive the hero’s welcome they deserved.
In The Facemaker, award-winning historian Lindsey Fitzharris tells the astonishing story of the pioneering plastic surgeon Harold Gillies, who dedicated himself to restoring the faces – and the identities – of a brutalized generation. Gillies, a Cambridge-educated New Zealander, became interested in the nascent field of plastic surgery after encountering the human wreckage on the front. Returning to Britain, he established one of the world’s first hospitals dedicated entirely to facial reconstruction in Sidcup, south-east England. There, Gillies assembled a unique group of doctors, nurses and artists whose task was to recreate what had been torn apart. At a time when losing a limb made a soldier a hero, but losing a face made him a monster to a society largely intolerant of disfigurement, Gillies restored not just the faces of the wounded but also their spirits.
Meticulously researched and grippingly told, The Facemaker places Gillies’s ingenious surgical innovations alongside the poignant stories of soldiers whose lives were wrecked and repaired. The result is a vivid account of how medicine and art can merge, and of what courage and imagination can accomplish in the presence of relentless horror.

“I’ve been enjoying a book from the Let’s Sign BSL series by Cath Smith.BSL Baby Sign Link book is a first for DeafBooks due to how the illustrations also feature QR codes to scan and link to video clips of moving images – so you can see the signs in action! The video links are by Remark! and demonstrated by a Deaf BSL user.
The illustrations in the book are beautifully clear, with easy to follow instructions yet I was anxious how the video clips would work, being the technophobe I am!
I needn’t have worried. All you need is an internet connection, a smart phone and to download a free scanner straight onto your phone.
Not only does the book feature a wide range of every day signs from food and drink to praises such as well done and good boy/girl, it also has a clear chart of the finger spelling alphabet as well as descriptions of basic hand shapes (which I wasn’t previously aware of!)
The series of signs are divided into chapters such as Going Out, Making Things Better and In the Bathroom.”…………..
……….“I was pleased to see that DeafBooks has a much wider range of resources available, from flash cards and BSL songbooks to curriculum support and eBooks for family signs.
I will also be recommending their BSL series to friends of mine who have expressed interest in their hearing children learning BSL as at the moment in my area there are no BSL classes available for children.
Congratulations to DeafBooks and to Remark! for producing such a valuable resource. ”
Note from DeafBooks – the QR codes can also be scanned from the camera on smart phones and ipads.
.
There are additional notes and tips beneath the video clips and you can comment and ask questions. Your suggestions and feedback are welcome.

I Hate You All: Hilarious Activity Book for Letting Off Steam (The Perfect Funny Gag Gift for Anyone Who Needs Some Stress-Relief)
Are you tired of people telling you to “just smile” and “cheer up”?
Well, it’s time to unleash your inner grump with the #1 activity book for the grouch in all of us. Breathe in and freak out!
Picture this: You wake up to the blaring sound of your alarm clock, only to realize you’ve already hit snooze five times. You begrudgingly drag yourself out of bed, stubbing your toe on the corner of the dresser in the process. Fan-freaking-tastic.
As you stumble into the kitchen, you find you’re out of coffee. Of course. You grumble a few choice words under your breath while brewing a cup of that ancient, off-brand tea lurking at the back of your cupboard since the dawn of time. It tastes like regret and broken dreams.
With no time left for a shower, you throw on some semi-clean clothes and race out the door, praying you’ll catch the bus. Spoiler alert: you don’t. As you stand at the bus stop, watching it disappear into the distance, you can’t help but think that the universe has it out for you today.
The rest of your day is a blur of irritating coworkers, a mountain of urgent emails, and an endless loop of “please hold” elevator music as you attempt to resolve a billing issue during your lunch break. By the time you finally make it home, you’re ready to scream, cry, or do both simultaneously.
Sound familiar? We’ve all been there.
With “I Hate You All,” you’ll be tickled by the absurdity of life’s annoyances and find solace in sharing your grumpiness with the world. Laugh at the ridiculousness of everyday frustrations and realize that laughter is the best medicine sometimes.
Say goodbye to generic, sugar-coated adult coloring books and crossword puzzles. This wickedly funny activity book is designed to help you channel your inner misanthrope and bring some laughter into your life.
In this uproarious activity book, you will discover:
- EMBRACE THE GRUMP: Packed with hilarious activities like snarky word searches, passive-aggressive coloring pages, and sarcastic fill-in-the-blanks, this book is your ticket to hours of twisted entertainment.
- STRESS-RELIEF GUARANTEED: Laughing at the absurdities of life is the best medicine. With each page designed to help you vent your frustrations, this activity book will have you rolling on the floor in no time.
- WITTY ACTIVITIES TO IGNITE YOUR CREATIVITY: Engage in clever, unexpected, humorous activities that will make you chuckle, snort, and maybe even burst into full-blown laughter.
Don’t worry. This activity book is not only funny, but it’s also an actual stress reducer. Even if you’ve never been a fan of activity books, the uplifting humor and creative content will quickly win you over.
Show someone you (don’t) care about with the perfect funny gag gift for birthdays, holidays, or just because. It’s time to unleash your inner grump!

Be Useful: Seven tools for life
THE INSTANT NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER
The seven rules to follow to realise your true purpose in life-distilled by Arnold Schwarzenegger from his own journey of ceaseless reinvention and extraordinary achievement, and available for absolutely anyone.
The world’s greatest bodybuilder. The world’s highest paid movie star. The leader of the world’s sixth largest economy. That these are the same person sounds like the setup to a joke. But this is no joke. This is Arnold Schwarzenegger. And this did not happen by accident.
Arnold’s stratospheric success happened as part of a process. As the result of clear vision, big thinking, hard work, direct communication, resilient problem-solving, open-minded curiosity, and a commitment to giving back. All of it guided by the one lesson Arnold’s father hammered into him above all: be useful. As Arnold conquered every realm he entered, he kept his father’s adage close to his heart.
Written with his uniquely earnest, blunt, powerful voice, BE USEFUL takes readers on an inspirational tour through Arnold’s toolkit for a meaningful life. Arnold shows us how to put those tools to work, in service of whatever fulfilling future we can dream up for ourselves. He brings his insights to vivid life with compelling personal stories, life-changing successes and life-threatening failures alike–some of them famous, some told here for the first time ever.
Too many of us struggle to disconnect from our self-pity and connect to our purpose. At an early age, Arnold forged the mental tools to build the ladder out of the poverty and narrow-mindedness of his rural Austrian hometown, tools he used to add rung after rung from there. Now he has shared that wisdom with all of us. As he puts it, no one is going to come rescue you — you only have yourself. The good news, it turns out, is that you are all you need.

Chosen: Living with adoption
Chosen brings together writing and poetry by over 50 adopted adults born between 1934 and 1984. Some are established writers, others are new and emerging whilst some have never been published before. They capture a broad range of perspectives: adoption within the extended family; late-discovery adopted adults; transracial and transnational adoption; those who have searched for birth family, and those who did not search but were found by a relative. The themes of identity and belonging, roots and searching and acceptance and healing permeate these accounts.Read more

Adoption Law: A Practical Guide
The Adoption and Children Act 2002, which sets out the statutory framework, contains 115 sections and 5 schedules. These provisions are supported by secondary legislation, international conventions, rules, guidance, practice notes and case law that has developed since the Act came into force. The paramount consideration in every decision relating to the adoption of a child is the child’s welfare throughout their life. In doing so the decision maker also has to consider and balance the competing rights protected under the European Convention on Human Rights of all parties in the adoption process and also the child’s rights under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Adoption Law: A Practical Guide seeks to provide a comprehensive guide to the law, practice and procedure for professionals as well as those who are concerned with or involved in the adoption process. It covers each stage of the adoption process, including the difficult issue of contact between the child and their birth parents and the alternative options available by reference to the relevant case law and regulations in relation to domestic adoptions as well as adoptions with a foreign element. Registration of adoption and the sensitive issue of disclosure of information are also considered. The book deals with the statutory obligations and responsibilities imposed on adoption agencies, support services and other professional bodies who are concerned with adoption towards all the parties, including the child who is the subject of the proceedings. It also outlines the rights of those parties to challenge decisions made by the professional bodies involved in the process.Read more

The Emotional Experience of Adoption: A Psychoanalytic Perspective
Adoption is an extremely complex and emotionally demanding process for all those involved. This book explores the emotional experience of adoption from a psychoanalytic perspective, and demonstrates how psychoanalytic understanding and treatment can contribute to thinking about and working with adopted children and their families.
Drawing on psychoanalytic, attachment and child development theory, and detailed in-depth clinical case discussion, The Emotional Experience of Adoption explores issues such as:
- the emotional experience of children placed for adoption, and how this both shapes and is shaped by unconscious processes in the child’s inner world
- how psychoanalytic child psychotherapy can help as a distinctive source of understanding and as a treatment for children who are either in the process of being adopted or already adopted
- how such understanding can inform planning and decision making amongst professionals and carers.
The Emotional Experience of Adoption explains and accounts for the emotional and psychological complexities involved for child, parents and professionals in adoption. It will be of interest and relevance to anyone involved at a personal level in the adoption process or professionals working in the fields of adoption, social work, child mental health, foster care and family support.
