Book Synopsis Medical Heroes and Heretics by : Wayne Martin
Download or read book Medical Heroes and Heretics written by Wayne Martin and published by Devin-Adair Publishers. This book was released on 1977 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orthodox science -- particularly in the medical profession -- has for centuries resisted change. It traces back at least as far as Socrates who was done to death for corrupting youth with his innovative ideas. In recent times, practically all the great advances in medicine have been made against a powerfully entrenched orthodoxy. Wayne Martin's book is about some of the men involved -- then and now: Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., who made physicians wash their hands; Louis Pasteur, who postulated the connection between bacteria and certain diseases; Frederick Banting, who discovered insulin; Jonas Salk, who solved the mystery of polio, to mention but a few. These men all braved the wrath of the medical establishment of their day. Heretics they were, but Heroes they became. Similarly, today a group of brave pioneers are fighting the same fight. They are, says the author, the heroes of tomorrow: Ernst Krebs, Jr., Evan Shute, Dean Burk, Denis Burkitt, Virginia Livingston and a dozen others, all of whose careers and findings are described here by a man who has pursued his topic for the past ten years.

Download or read book Heretics written by Jonathan Wright and published by HMH. This book was released on 2011-04-27 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively examination of the heretics who helped Christianity become the world’s most powerful religion. From Arius, a fourth-century Libyan cleric who doubted the very divinity of Christ, to more successful heretics like Martin Luther and John Calvin, this book charts the history of dissent in the Christian Church. As the author traces the Church’s attempts at enforcing orthodoxy, from the days of Constantine to the modern Catholic Church’s lingering conflicts, he argues that heresy—by forcing the Church to continually refine and impose its beliefs—actually helped Christianity to blossom into one of the world’s most formidable religions. Today, all believers owe it to themselves to grapple with the questions raised by heresy. Can you be a Christian without denouncing heretics? Is it possible that new ideas challenging Church doctrine are destined to become as popular as Luther’s once-outrageous suggestions of clerical marriage and a priesthood of all believers? A delightfully readable and deeply learned new history, Heretics overturns our assumptions about the role of heresy in a faith that still shapes the world. “Wright emphasizes the ‘extraordinarily creative role’ that heresy has played in the evolution of Christianity by helping to ‘define, enliven, and complicate’ it in dialectical fashion. Among the world’s great religions, Christianity has been uniquely rich in dissent, Wright argues—especially in its early days, when there was so little agreement among its adherents that one critic compared them to a marsh full of frogs croaking in discord.” —The New Yorker
Book Synopsis Clinical Leaders: Heroes Or Heretics? by : Elizabeth Margaret Robertson
Download or read book Clinical Leaders: Heroes Or Heretics? written by Elizabeth Margaret Robertson and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2010-03-29 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clinical training and background are not synonymous with leadership. So where does a potential clinical leader turn to for advice? This small handy volume is specifically written for this purpose with information about the softer skills of leadership. It is not linked to any particular healthcare system or clinical discipline. Focus on leadership as a means to influence healthcare culture is attracting attention internationally currently. There is a lack of published material aimed at clinical leadership and the time is ripe to channel and develop formal pathways to support this unmet need. There is an appetite for understanding what leadership involves and the book is aimed at that. It provides useful information presented in a highly readable style.Readers will find the style a refreshing change from the usual academic material. Accounts of hands-on experience with non-pedantic pragmatic advice are reflected strongly in the book. It draws heavily on the concept that perceptions may not be shared. This may be the basis for fruitful communication and mutual understanding, if not necessarily agreement. Clinical leadership is an evolving discipline and seldom do currently practicing individuals have an accredited qualification. They rather build up 'on -the -job' experience. This compendium of real life experiences and educational facts attempts to bridge the gap and prepare healthcare professionals to hit the ground running in their leadership roles.The book's narrative pace will make it a good holiday or long journey read. The subject matter is neither dry, trivial nor trite.
Book Synopsis The Heretic's Guide to Best Practices by : Paul Culmsee
Download or read book The Heretic's Guide to Best Practices written by Paul Culmsee and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-05-23 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to solving complex problems, we often perform elaborate rituals in the guise of best practices that promise a world of order, certainty, and control. But reality paints a far different picture, which practitioners are often reluctant to discuss. A witty yet rigorous journey through the seedy underbelly of organisational problem solving, The Heretics Guide to Best Practices pinpoints the reasons why best practices dont work as advertised and what can be done about it. Hugely enjoyable, deeply reflective, and intensely practical. This book is about weaving human artistry and improvisation, with appropriate methods and technologies, in order to pool collective intelligence and wisdom under pressure. Simon Buckingham Shum, Knowledge Media Institute, The Open University, UK This is a terrific piece of work: important, insightful, and very entertaining. Culmsee and Awati have produced a refreshing take on the problems that plague organisations... If youre trying to deal with wicked problems in your organisation, then drop everything and read this book. Tim Van Gelder, Principal Consultant, Austhink Consulting
Download or read book Heretics written by Gerd Ludemann and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the commonly held view, early Christianity was a time of great harmony, and heresy emerged only at a later stage. To the contrary, Gerd Ludemann argues that the time from the first Christian communities to the end of the second century was defined by struggle by various groups for doctrinal authority. Drawing on a wealth of data, he asserts that the losers in this struggle actually represented Christianity in its more authentic, original form. Orthodoxy has been defined by the victors in this struggle and it is they who subsequently silenced alternative views and labeled them heretical. Ludemann's findings are important as well as liberating for the understanding of both Christianity and the Bible. Readers will gain a new understanding of Jesus and the early church from this compelling and controversial book.
