The Sensational South Island by Mary Walker
Few areas in life have experienced the rapid pace of change that has been the experience of health care. It's an area where nothing feels safe and everything is threatened with reexamination and redefinition. Accompanying this situation is a new appreciation for the human spirit and the gift of things spiritual, including the soul of the work place. Addressing this situation is a vital new book Health Care and Spirituality: Listening, Assessing, Caring an anthology of the human predicament, the health care professional's story and the health care work place. Health Care and Spirituality explores this area that is continually being introduced to new treatments, new challenges, new people, new regulations, new expectations, and new time limits.
Mary Jane Walker is a writer of historically well-informed travel memoirs, with her own unique voice. A Maverick Cuban Way is the third book in a series of eight. Mary Jane always wanted to visit Cuba, an island which conjures up images of revolution, romance and roaming back in time. Being a Maverick, it is just so fitting to go to Cuba, an island which rejected America's way of doing things. So too did the author's home country New Zealand, in a smaller way: it rejected visits from nuclear-powered submarines (Mary Jane at age 15 kicked one of these) and vessels carrying nuclear weapons, and declared itself nuclear free, and was excluded from a military alliance because of that. Mary Jane travelled the whole island in three weeks and loved it. She was in a beachside restaurant when Harry Belafonte turned up; went to the Sierra Maestro Mountains where Fidel hid as a guerrilla for 18 months; and climbed Pico Turquino, the highest peak in Cuba. She met and spoke with taxi drivers, academics and locals from all over Cuba. Though the country is poor many are happy, and do not want to see a society with a major income divide re-emerge.
