It's been a banner year for books published by researchers in the faculties of nursing and education at the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½, with three new titles on topics ranging from wellness in older adults, to the philosophy of hermeneutics, to why suffering can be instructive.
Miller’s Nursing for Wellness in Older Adults
A well-recognized American textbook has just been revised by a Faculty of Nursing associate professor and a former faculty member to suit a Canadian audience. Published earlier this month, by Sandra Hirst, Annette Lane and Carol Miller, adapts Miller’s definitive textbook, currently in its seventh edition in the United States, for Canadian nursing practice.
Conducting Hermeneutic Research: From Philosophy to Practice
is written by lead author Nancy Moules with Faculty of Nursing colleagues Graham McCaffrey and Catherine Laing and Werklund School of Education’s James Field.
On the Pedagogy of Suffering: Hermeneutic and Buddhist Meditations
once again uses hermeneutic concepts. The text articulates how and why suffering can be instructive in character and how it is often key to meaningful and authentic acts of teaching and learning. It is co-edited by Graham McCaffrey, together with Werklund School of Education’s David Jardine and Christopher Gilham from the Faculty of Education at St Francis Xavier University.
