Concepts and Cases in Nursing Ethics – Fourth Edition

By: Michael Yeo,Anne Moorhouse,Pamela Khan,Patricia Rodney

A portion of the revenue from this book’s sales will be donated to Doctors Without Borders to assist the humanitarian work of nurses, doctors, and other health care providers in the fight against COVID-19 and beyond. Concepts and Cases in Nursing Ethics is an introduction to contemporary ethical issues in health care, designed especially for Canadian audiences. The book is organized around six key concepts: beneficence, autonomy, truth-telling, confidentiality, justice, and integrity. Each of these concepts is explained and discussed with reference to professional and legal norms. The discussion is then supplemented by case studies that exemplify the relevant concepts and show how each applies in health care and nursing practice. This new fourth edition includes an added chapter on end-of-life issues, and it is revised throughout to reflect the latest developments on topics such as global health ethics, cultural competence, social media, and palliative sedation, as well as ethical issues relating to COVID-19.

Getting to Where We Meant to Be

Working Toward the Educational World We Imagine/d

By: Patricia H. Hinchey,Pamela J. Konkol

At a moment when brawls are breaking out at school board meetings and state officials are increasingly issuing curricular mandates, it’s possible that this text’s central question is more important than ever: How is it that given good intentions and hard work among education professionals, things in schools can go so very wrong? As in the first edition, Hinchey and Konkol suggest that unspoken and misleading assumptions can produce choices, decisions and policies with disastrous consequences for kids. They tease out such assumptions on the key issues of school goals, curriculum, education for citizenship, discipline and school reform, inviting readers to question the taken-for-granted in order to better align intentions and outcomes. Such contemporary issues as book banning and parents’ movements are presented not as isolated controversies, but instead in their historical, cultural and political contexts. Designed for both undergraduate and graduate classrooms, the text applies to a wide range of studies related to public education, including its theory, policy, history and politics. Without proselytizing, the text asks readers to think for themselves and articulate their own commitments guided by end-of-chapter questions, some intended for all readers and some specifically for experienced professionals. Suggested additional readings, websites and videos invite further exploration of the topics under discussion and offer still more food for thought.

Resources Rock

How to Invest in and Profit from the Next Global Boom in Natural Resources

By: Malvin Spooner,Pamela Clarke

Resources Rock is an easy-to-read introduction to the resource sector as it gears up to take off for the first time in over two decades. Readers will learn how to invest in natural resource stocks, including diamonds, gold, base metals, oil and gas, forestry and fertilizer companies. For years, the average prices of shares in resource sector stocks, for everything from gold to diamonds to forest products, have been at record low levels. But it's not going to stay that way forever. North American and European economies are showing signs of making a long-awaited rebound in 2005, so manufacturers will have to start buying raw resources as fast as they can in order to meet the needs of their customers. Metal prices (gold, silver, etc.) have been rising in the past year and will continue to rise.

Remote Sensing Tools for Exploration

Remote Sensing Tools for Exploration

Observing and Interpreting the Electromagnetic Spectrum

By: Pamela Elizabeth Clark,Michael Lee Rilee

Remote Sensing from a New Perspective The idea for this book began many years ago, when I was asked to teach a course on remote sensing. Not long before that time, I had been part of the effort to develop the first database for planetary data with a common digital array format and interactive processing capabilities to correlate those data easily: the lunar consortium. All the available lunar remote sensing data were included, orbital and ground-based, ranging across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. I had used this powerful tool extensively, and, in that spirit, I was determined to create a course which covered the entire spectrum and a variety of targets. As I looked around for the equivalent of a textbook, which I was willing to pull together from several sources, I realized that available material was very heavily focused on the visual and near visual spectrum and on the Earth as a target. Even The Surveillant Science, edited by Edward Holz and published in 1973, which broke new ground in having diverse articles on most of the spectrum when it was created, focused entirely on the Earth. My personal favorite, the exceedingly well written book on remote sensing by Floyd Sabins first published in 1978, covered the visual, infrared, and microwave portions of the spectrum beautifully but focused on the Earth as well. Unhindered, I developed what I called ‘packets’ of material for each part of the spectrum.
