Down Memory Laneis a charming reflection on how life used to be lived, from the days of the Second World War up to the present. It is a nostalgic collection of memories that the author has lovingly recalled from childhood into adulthood with all of the ups and downs that occur in between.Dee Elle started her nursing career as a student and worked her way up to the lofty position of matron. Those were the days when the National Health Service was working at its best; where consultants were considered gods and matrons ruled the wards with no nonsense and an iron fist.Down Memory Lane is full of entertaining life stories that some will find reminiscent and others inspirational.

"Refreshing and eloquent" Libby Purves, The Times"Quins acute powers of observation vividly convey the hinterland of the modern general hospital A medical memoir for the Trainspotting generation." The Tablet***Surgeons cut, but physicians what do physicians actually do? And is it true that other doctors really call them the magicians?John Quin worked for thirty-three years as a physician for the NHS in both Scotland and England, specialising in endocrinology. Days on the wards were uproariously funny one minute, infinitely tragic the next.Starting with a stern lesson from the president of the British Society of Gastroenterologists that the younger doctor was not a f****** comedian, Dr Quin, Medicine Man is packed with vividly told tales of the joy and reward of getting the diagnosis right, the disaster of getting it wrong.Darkly amusing and with a keen eye for the absurd, this sharply observed memoir is not only an acute insight into the farcical frustrations and tensions of working in a chronically underfunded system but also a timely reminder of the humanity of the NHS staff who care for us.

In "Dr. Elsie Inglis," Frances Lady Balfour presents a compelling biographical account of one of the most remarkable figures in medical history.

Frances Lady Balfour, an esteemed womens rights advocate and biographer, draws upon her own experiences within the suffragist movement to illuminate Dr. Ingliss tenacity and compassionate drive. Balfours commitment to social reform is deeply embedded in her writing, as she seeks to honor pioneers like Inglis, who shattered barriers in a male-dominated field. The authors nuanced understanding of the cultural and political landscape of her time enriches the narrative, making it an insightful exploration of both individual and collective struggles for empowerment. "Dr. Elsie Inglis" is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersections of medicine, gender, and social change. Balfours nuanced portrayal invites readers to reflect on the continual evolution of womens roles in society while celebrating the indomitable spirit of a woman who transformed the lives of countless others. This book not only serves as an inspiring biography but also as a call to acknowledge the past as we shape the future.

IT WAS at Venice. The lofty windows of the ancient Ducal Palace of the Speranzi opened upon the Grand Canal. The orb of night was mirrored in the waters by a furrow of silver spangles, and the immensity of the sky stretched over the towers and cupolas.When the musicians borne by the gondolas had turned the corner of the canal to glide towards the Bridge of Sighs, their last choruses vanished in the night, and Venice seemed to go to sleep in that profound silence known to no hive of humanity but the Queen of the Adriatic. This Venetian silence was untroubled save by the cadenced beats of the old clock, and perhaps I should not have appreciated the whole depth of the universal muteness but for the regular oscillation of that apparatus designed for measuring time. The continuous tick-tock marked out the silence, and, curiously enough, seemed to intensify it.

Gran parte de nuestra labor como arquitectos radica en la responsabilidad que adquirimos con los edificios que diseñamos: cómo van a funcionar, cómo se van a mantener, cómo se van a operar... Sin embargo, existe un reto mayor que impone el proyecto a su autor, que lo desafia y pone a prueba su vision y experiencia, y es como se transformara este en el futuro. Como a traves del tiempo, con el cambio generacional y cultural de sus ocupantes, podra interactuar con ellos como lienzo sobre el cual crear nuevos espacios, de manera tal que se minimice la intensidad en el consumo del capital natural y genere valor a la experiencia humana para si mismo y su entorno. Es ahi donde la responsabilidad como arquitectos nos transforma en constructores de un mañana que brinde mejores oportunidades a nuestro planeta. Una de las principales motivaciones en el proyecto EAN Legacy fue conocer y explorar nuevos caminos a traves del diseño y la construccion, no solo para generar arquitectura de calidad, sino arquitectura con responsabilidad y conciencia.

These lectures emerged in the larger context of the book Edvard Munch. Dance of Life. A Biography. They were held in 2012 and 2013 as public lectures in Norway. These lectures offer additional information regarding some questions and topics, which werent discussed in detail in the biography.The first lecture, which was held in September 2012 at the University of Bergen, following an invitation of Professor Dr. Sissel Lagreid, was concerned with reconstructing the ambivalence of this artist. He appears both as a person searching for an authentic construction of emotionality and on the other side acts economically and strategically as an media conscious person. The paper attempts to shed light into a slightly less illuminated side of the artist, mainly the question of the construction of emotion, immediacy and autobiography. On the other side it is trying to work out the forms of "exhibition management" in more detail; how he approaches gallerists, how he works out sales and entrance fees, the way he transports his works and produces its reproductions.The second presentation was held on 6 June 2013 at the 7th Philosophy Festival in Krager P Kanten, which was specially dedicated to the painter Edvard Munch. In this paper I have tried to figure out the roots and inspirations that could have guided Munchs idea of an eternal cycle in nature, in which new life is born from dead matter. Above all, Nietzsche, Haeckel and Strindberg are the key sources of his inspiration.The third lecture was held in December 2012, as part of the research project "Munch and Modernity" at the Conference "New Visions. Edvard Munch and Modern Media Culture" at the University of Oslo. This lecture is trying to take a completely new perspective with reference to the creative processes of Edvard Munch. Using the theme of the kiss as an example, an attempt is being made to explain that it is exactly the media difference which leads to a temporary identity of the representation.
