The articles in this volume have been first presented during an international Conference organised by the Greek Society for the History of Science and Technology in June 1990 at Corfu. The Society was founded in 1989 and planned to hold a series of meetings to impress upon an audience comprised mainly by Greek students and scholars, the point that history of science is an autonomous discipline with its own plurality of approaches developed over the years as a result of long discussions and disputes within the community of historians of science. The Conference took place at a time when more and more people came to realise that the future of the Greek Universities and Research Centres depends not only on the progress of the institutional reforms, but also very crucially on the establishment of new and modern subject areas. Though there have been significant steps towards such a direction in the physical sciences, mathematics and engineering, the situation in the so-called humanities has been, at best, confusing. Political expediencies of the post war years and ideological commitments to a glorious, yet very distant past, paralysed the development of the humanities and constrained them within a framework which could not allow much more than a philological approach.

The volume collects original studies highlighting contemporary trends in historical sociolinguistics, as well as current research on the relationship between sociolinguistics and historical linguistics, social motivations of language variation and change, and corpus-based studies. Distinctive features of the book, which make it appealing to a wider audience, are the interdisciplinary nature of the chapters and the range of languages addressed.

The Modern Historiography Is Passing Through A Phase Of Enormous Elaboration With Multi-Dimensional Ramifications. The Great Proliferation Of Historical Writings Regrettably Has Not Illuminated Central Themes Of Modern History, Instead Has Woefully Obscured Them. Moreover, Modern Historical Scholarship, An International Enterprise Which It Has Always Been Is Confronted With A Crisis Because On The One Hand There Is Decreasing Relevance Of Spatial Concept Of Culture As The Barriers Are Collapsing, While On The Other, Increasing Alienation Of Man Has Made History Acquire A Kind Of Mythical Character. Gradually Being Abandoned As An Scholarly Enterprise, History For A Futurist Is Only A Marginal Indicator, For Scientist A Backdrop Necessary To Preface His Discoveries, For The Modern Man, It Is A Dead Burden To Be Shed As Early As Possible, For The Man In The Street Just A Myth, For A Historian An In Chartered Journey Into The Past Taking Him Nowhere And Making Him No Wiser, But For An Intellectual History Is A Total Awareness Of Time And Space.Recent Trends In Historiography Offers A General Survey Of Historical Trends Which Have Emerged Prominently In The Second Half Of The 20Th Century. It Explains The Views Of The Founders, Promoters And Critics In A Simple, Lucid And Systematic Manner.

History of American Nursing: Trends and Eras is the first comprehensive nursing history text to be published in years. It provides a historical overview essential to developing a complete understanding of the nursing profession. For each key era of U.S. history, nursing is examined in the contexts of the sociopolitical climate of the day, the image of nurses, nursing education, advances in practice, war and its effect on nursing, licensure and regulation, and nursing research and its implications. From early nursing to Nightingale’s revolutionizing influence, through two world wars to today, this succinct text engages students in an exploration of nursing’s past while connecting it to nursing practice in the present. A History of American Nursing: Trends and Eras is designed to inform and empower today’s student nurses as they help to create the future of nursing.
