Her forsøger pigerne at finde frem til tyvene, der viser sig at være både berømte og berygtede for deres kunstneriske kup. Men hvad er forbindelsen mellem familien Swift og tyvene - og hvor slår de til næste gang?Om forfatteren:Beth Lincoln har altid elsket gåder og emytologi. Hun har gået på Penguin Random House WriteNow-skriveholdet med manuskriptet til sin prisvindende debut, Familien Swift, der kommer som familiefilm på Netflix. Nu er hun klar med andet bind i den sjove og mystiske serie om Unode Swift.

I familien Swift navngives nyfødte børn på en særlig måde: Et opslag i en ordbog giver navn og definition. En definition, som familien mener, vil matche barnets personlighed. Unode Swift har et hemmeligt projekt. Et storstilet forsøg på at kortlægge enhver passage, alle skjulte døre og gange i familiens palæ. Kortet viser sig at være ganske belejligt at have, da tante Schadenfreude bliver forsøgt myrdet, og nogen må finde ud af hvem i huset, der står bag. Unode påtager sig opgaven, men flere mord, en skjult skat og en række sære spor gør sagen mere og mere mystisk. Om forfatteren:Beth Lincoln (hun/hende, de/dem) har altid elsket etymologi og klassiske mordgåder, og det var kombinationen, der skaffede hende en plads på Penguin Random House WriteNow-skriveholdet med manuskriptet til hendes prisvindende debut, Familien Swift, der kommer som familiefilm på Netflix.

Medical professionals overlook culture attitudes toward healthcare at their own risk-and the risk of their patients. Cultural differences pose multiple challenges to healthcare professionals, influencing the degree of patient involvement and the outcome of healthcare decisions. In Further Reflections from Common Ground, certified transcultural nurse Beth Lincoln, MSN, RN, argues for the necessity of culturally sensitive healthcare. She shows how concerned healthcare professionals must understand both their own cultural values and those of their patients. Lincoln begins by describing the barriers to healthcare and health practices caused by cultural insensitivity, including issues of racism, prejudice, and distrust. From there, she presents thirteen vignettes highlighting the attitudes and values of ethnic and cultural groups as diverse as Hispanic Americans, the Amish, Homeless Youth, Gang culture, Prison culture, Russian American, Irish American, and the Deaf community. Each chapter also includes exercises designed to reveal the reader's own cultural expectations and to encourage a more diverse, inclusive approach to healthcare. Of importance to nurses, physicians, social workers, and others working in the many branches of healthcare, Further Reflections from Common Ground helps foster transcultural care that fits the needs and values of the patients, their families, and the greater community.
