Editorial Reviews: In the compilation of this work Van Voorhis extracted liberally from early and contemporary newspapers of Monongahela and adjacent regions and counties, some in Pennsylvania and some in West Virginia--all of which, in their obituaries particularly, provide important and often unique biographical and genealogical data. Also included are lengthy sketches of the early families of the Monongahela Valley, each showing, in substance, family members and their relationships, dates and places of birth, marriage and death, occupation, standing in the community, and places of migration to and from the Monongahela Valley. With an Index to every one of approximately 8,000 names referred to in the text.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great Book Comment: As a nursing student I loved this book. It gave a great perspective on some areas of nursing that nursing students may not be exposed to during clinicals. Toward the end of the book it did get into nursing/hospital politics and policy, which slowed things down. I wish that the author had ended with something better and more inspiring. Customer Rating: Summary: Powerful Comment: It's often said that in today's society we have no heroes. If you read this book, you will soon learn otherwise. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Nursing Book- could do w/o political commentary Comment: I really liked the aspects of this books that dealt with the three nurses performing their jobs in their perspective fields. That was great- but all the talk about nursing jobs getting cut really gets boring after a while. So much so I've been dreading reading the last chapter. Great book, just has some boring parts. Customer Rating: Summary: Summarizes nursing's role in the current health care arena. Comment: A must read for all those working IN or WITH the profession of nursing. Gordon discusses how the changes in our health care system have affected both the nurses role and quality patient care issues. The essential need for collaboration of all health care personnel is woven throughout the content. I required this book for a senior nursing course I just taught at Wayne State University in Detroit and the students were most impressed with the book and its approach to nursing, medicine and health care. A must read for nurses, physicians, hospital administration, potential students and the general public. Afterall, we are all potential patients and we should be aware of what is happening to the largest population of health care providers, the nurses! Customer Rating: Summary: Essential reading for all health care consumers . Comment: The most under rated people in our society are nurses,this is an introduction to the ever present caregivers in healthcare today.The most varied role and most significant in all aspects of health care is the nurse.This was a wonderful read for all of those who may ever be the receiver of any aspect of their care from nurses in our country, basically everyone,a must have.For those considering the profession as a career,and the family members who would like an overview of "all in a days work", this will invoke serious thought.Yes, I am a nurse and for me to recommend a book written on nursing....kudos to all involved in the creation.
