John Gregorson Campbell (1834-91) was one of the most outstanding folklorists working in Scotland during the nineteenth century.

This accessible and friendly text is based on the premise that all nurses need a working knowledge of the normal functioning of the human body. It is only when we understand the normal that the abnormal pathological situation makes sense. If we can understand how the body goes wrong then it often becomes obvious what needs to be done to treat the disorder. So physiology and pathophysiology can both be used to inform our clinical interventions and provide us with rationales for care. In this concise text, John Campbell explains the physiology and necessary basic science in a way that is easy to understand and learn. Diagrams are an important part of this philosophy.

Over the past decade, there has been a growing interest among policymakers, development practitioners, and academics in participatory and qualitative research methods in applied research. This trend is accompanied by a recognition that the value of research can be enhanced through a systematic integration of quantitative and qualitative approaches. While this interest has provided useful insights for improving development research, it has also introduced certain challenges. This book consolidates lessons on best practices for combining qualitative and quantitative methods, generating quantitative data from qualitative/participatory methods, and monitoring and evaluating development processes. It expands on innovations and reflections from practice in both developing and developed contexts, drawing from experiences within development agencies, academia, government, and civil society. By referencing current research across various sectors and countries, the book situates contemporary development research issues within broader debates on development policy and social research. It aims to define best practices in utilizing participatory/qualitative and quantitative methods, addressing methodological triangulation, which is of significant interest to academics, practitioners, and policymakers. This resource serves as a practical manual that combines best practices and innovative approaches, offering valuable insights for its divers

Can you name the creator of the Territorial Army and the British Expeditionary Force? The man who laid the foundation stones of MI5, MI6, the RAF, the LSE, Imperial College, the 'redbrick' universities and the Medical Research Council?This book reveals that great figure: Richard Burdon Haldane. As a philosopher-statesman, his groundbreaking proposals on defence, education and government structure were astonishingly ahead of his time--the very building blocks of modern Britain. His networks ranged from Wilde to Einstein, Churchill to Carnegie, King to Kaiser; he pioneered cross-party, cross-sector cooperation. Yet in 1915 Haldane was ejected from the Liberal government, unjustly vilified as a German sympathiser.John Campbell charts these ups and downs, reveals Haldane's intensely personal side through previously unpublished private correspondence, and shows his enormous relevance in our search for just societies today. Amidst political and national instability, it is time to reinstate Haldane as Britain's outstanding example of true statesmanship.A Sunday Times Politics and Current Affairs Book of the Year, 2020.A Telegraph Best Book of the Year, 2020.
