Non-Fiction 2010Summary:The quality of medical and nursing care available to British soldiers on
campaign had improved immeasurably since the days of the Crimean War in
the middle of the nineteenth century when Florence Nightingale and her
nurses had cared for wounded men who could scarcely believe that her
presence was not other worldly. By the time of the First World War the
organisation of medical care had become a fixture of the military
establishment, though, of course, this was to be a war like no other.
The reader joins the author of this book in the first days of the
conflict and through the pages of her diary we follow her experiences on
the Western Front as she cared for the wounded from the actions on the
Aisne through the First Battle of Ypres and to the fighting to the
middle of 1915. This book was originally published anonymously during
wartime, but today most sources attribute the diary to Kathleen Luard.
Clearly she was a dedicated nurse and her writings take the reader to
the heart of a war of mud and attrition, revealing the incredible work
she and her colleagues undertook to care for their beloved
'Tommies'-particularly on the ambulance trains which collected the
wounded from the front line to transport them to base hospitals and
close to the firing line in Field Ambulance stations where her accounts
of the plight of the wounded makes poignant and touching reading. An
essential source work of the Great war from the female perspective. Views: 65

At Bagley Hall, a notoriously wild, but increasingly academic, independent, crammed with the children of the famous, trouble is afoot. The ambitious and fatally attractive headmaster, Hengist Brett-Taylor, hatches a plan to share the facilities of his school with Larkminster Comprehensive - known locally, as 'Larks'. His reasons for doing so are purely financial, but he is encouraged by the opportunities the scheme gives him for frequent meetings with Janna Curtis, the dynamic new head of Larks, who has been drafted in to save what is a fast-sinking school from closure. Janna is young, pretty, enthusiastic and vastly brave - and she will do anything to rescue her demoralised, run-down and cash-strapped school. Neither parents nor staff of either school are too keen on this radical move, although some can see the possible financial advantages. For the students, however, it offers great opportunities to get up to even more mayhem than usual. Views: 65
India is among the most difficult—and most rewarding—of places to travel. Some have said India stands for "I'll Never Do It Again." Many more are drawn back time after time because India is the best show on earth, the best bazaar of human experiences that can be visited in a lifetime. India dissolves ideas about what it means to be alive, and its people give new meaning to compassion, perseverance, ingenuity, and friendship. India—monsoon and marigold, dung and dust, colors and corpses, smoke and ash, snow and endless myth—is a cruel, unrelenting place of ineffable sweetness. Much like life itself. Journey to the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad, the world's biggest party, with David Yeadon and take "A Bath for Fifteen Million People"; greet the monsoon with Alexancer Frater where the Indian and Pacific Oceans meet; track the endangered Indian One-Horned Rhinoceros through the jungles of Assam with Larry Habegger; encounter the anguish of the caste system with...
