Synopsis A re-evaluation of Florence Nightingale's reputation as the founder of modern nursing. By examining her theories within the context of her life and times and scrutinizing the effect they had on subsequent models, the author argues that her influence comes mainly from factors other than the model of nursing which bears her name. Nightingale's principal texts, on which the book is based, are reproduced in full as appendices.

The Pillars of the Earth tells the story of Philip, prior of Kingsbridge, a devout and resourceful monk driven to build the greatest Gothic cathedral the world has known... of Tom, the mason who becomes his architect - a man divided in his soul... of the beautiful, elusive Lady Aliena, haunted by a secret shame... and of a struggle between good and evil that will turn church against state, and brother against brother. A spellbinding epic tale of ambition, anarchy, and absolute power set against the sprawling medieval canvas of twelfth-century England, this is Ken Follett's historical masterpiece.
