Thanks to Auburn for sharing this review. I just received my copy from
Amazon - a beautiful book, representing excellent scholarship. It received
5 stars in its Doody review, and has been mentioned on several nursing
lists. It was inspiring to read about the author.
Nightingale was more than the founder of modern nursing. Among other
accomplishments, she was the first to use statistics to improve hospital
conditions. This book belongs in every health sciences, history, and
womens' studies collection.
I will forward to appropriate nursing lists.
Thanks again - Peg

Subject: Nursing librarians--article re: new Florence Nightingale bio and
author
> Our local paper profiled the author of a new Florence Nightingale
biography
> in their Sunday High Profile section. The author who is originally from
> Arkansas is Barbara Montgomery Dossey. Having worked in a library that
> served a nursing school, I know that sometimes it is hard to find
> information about some of the current nursing leaders so thought you might
> want to access this while it is available online (probably only until the
> next Sunday sections come out). Articles in the archives are $1.95. The
> opening paragraph and a link are below.
>
> Barbara Montgomery Dossey is a persuasive pathfinder and an
> eloquent evangelist of holistic nursing. She is also the author of a
> provocative new Florence Nightingale biography.
