Set against a backdrop of war and revolution, \u003ci\u003eHealing Henan\u003c\/i\u003e brings sixty years of missionary nursing out of the shadows by examining how Canadian nurses shaped health care in the province of Henan and how China, in turn, influenced the nature of missionary nursing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the time Presbyterian (later United Church) missionaries arrived in China in 1888 until the abrupt closure of the North China Mission in 1947, Canadian nurses were ubiquitous in Henan. As China underwent a tumultuous transition from dynastic kingdom to independent republic, Canadian nurses advanced a version of hospital-based nursing education and practice that rivalled modern nursing care in Canada. In \u003ci\u003eHealing Henan, \u003c\/i\u003e Sonya Grypma offers a highly readable and fresh perspective on China missions and the global expansion of professional nursing. As the first comprehensive study of missionary nursing in China, it will be of particular interest to nurses and missionaries, and to historians of Canada, China, nursing, medicine, women's work, and missions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sonya Grypma\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0774814004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780774814003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of British Columbia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Sonya Grypma","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136161886463,"sku":"9780774814003","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b31a2604-ce9b-4754-bd54-32c08ba7a8cd.jpg?v=1770160924","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/healing-henan-sonya-grypma-9780774814003","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
