Florence Nightingale

Why was it difficult for Nightingale to become a nurse? What did she learn in the Crimean War? How did her work change hospitals? The 'Groundbreakers' series explores the lives of pioneering men and women'people whose achievements and discoveries have had a lasting impact on our world. Each book tells about the experiences that inspired these amazing individuals to think in new ways and discusses how the environment they lived in affected their work. Information on their supporters, colleagues, and rivals adds to the story. Finally, a look at the person's legacy shows how their achievements and discoveries continue to affect people today.Vickers, Rebecca is the author of 'Florence Nightingale' with ISBN 9781403440631 and ISBN 1403440638.
