Paperback. Etat : Very Good. One of the founders of the hospice movement in America, Dr. Robert W. Buckingham notes that today's modern medical facilities come fully equipped with the technology and sophisticated procedures to prolong life, but often they are ill-prepared to comfort the dying and ease the grief of loved ones left behind. In his continuing efforts to advocate pain-relieving care and human concern for those who are reaching the end of life, Dr. Buckingham offers this poignant yet informative sourcebook on the basic components of hospice care. The Handbook of Hospice Care offers a firsthand look at the history and philosophy of hospice care. While palliative care and enriching the quality of life for those who suffer from terminal illnesses are uppermost to the hospice concept, practical issues must also be addressed: the cost-effectiveness of such care; the appropriateness of hospice for children and AIDS patients; how to locate appropriate care or, if need be, how to start a hospice in your community; and related topics. Hospice is a cooperative and compassionate approach that brings meaning, dignity, and autonomy to the dying process. This handbook will help the terminally ill and their families navigate emotionally charged waters to decide if hospice is the safe harbor they seek.…

Hardcover. Etat : Poor. No Jacket. "There was a challenge lately intended for the Duke of Buckingham upon Sir William Coventrys account. . . . The occasion . . .was a new play to be acted on Saturday last called the Country gentleman. . . . But the King hath prevented all; and the play is not acted."--Samuel Pepys, 2 March 1669 This edition makes available for the first time The Country Gentleman, a play written by Sir Robert Howard and the Duke of Buckingham, personally suppressed by King Charles II in 1669. Its vicious personal attack on Sir William Coventry provoked a scandal. Consequently, it was banned before public performance and very naturally never printed. The play was long presumed lost. Fortunately, Pepys recorded the whole affair in some detail, and his description of the play's central satiric scene with "two tables . . . with a round hole in the middle" made it possible to identify an untitled, undated, anonymous MS in the Folger Library as a complete scribal copy of the play. This find is only the second such recovery of a "lost" Restoration play in the twentieth century. The Introduction gives a full account of the play's scandalous genesis--a lurid tale of political intrigue, a prevented duel between members of the King's Privy Council, and a fall from high office. For those curious about how literary "discoveries" come about, the editors have added an account of the detective work which began with an odd entry in Annals of English Drama, and led from the Folger Library in Washington to artistocrats' private collections in England. The play itself is brisk, delicious comedy, featuring pairs of lovers caught up in the intrigues of rivals--all against motifs of city vs. country life and scathing satire of government "business." The Country Gentleman is both timely in its use of the gay-couple love game, and a surprisingly early precursor of the exemplary comedies of the 1690s. Ironically, this cheerful, witty play became the vehicle for satire which shook the whole government of England. Due to age and/or environmental conditions, the pages of this book have darkened. The hinges have been meanded preserving the original covers and spine. Please note the image in this listing is a stock photo and may not match the covers of the actual item. Book.…
