It was in late 2015; I was in Naas Hospital on one of my many visits, which were increasingly fearful, and my father, Jim Connell, was preparing me for his upcoming demise. It did not come to pass, however. He went on to have a near-death experience, recover from illness and return to live happily at home in Loraine. Neither of us is overtly religious, so I wondered where he had got his strength and belief from. I decided to try and find out. These stories, recounted over many interviews and with several people, were an unexpected bonus. €3 from each book sale goes to the Jack and Jill Children’s Foundation. -

Ger O’Brien Without Florence Nightingales Irish influences, nursing today, would never had become a global trained profession. Life itself is a miracle and great daily privilege as a nurse, to do for clients, what they cannot do for themselves, with utmost kindness and patience.

The purpose of this book is to redress this balance somewhat by revealing an as yet untold story of Irish influence. This volume contains biographies of fifteen significant figures in the global history of neuroscience who spearheaded important developments in brain science. -
