This latest book in the Kent's Untold History series explores the changing history ofmedicines, medical treatments, pills and potions in Kent from the 17th centuryonwards, tracing the evolution of medications and drugs prepared by alchemists anddoctors from the historically plant-based preparations of the 1600s and 1700s throughto the evolution of science-based medicines of the 1900s onwards. Advances also took place in the design and manufacture of artificial limbs, manybecoming controlled by cables, gears, cranks and springs, which could often berotated or bent. By the late 1800s new inventions in the manufacture and fitting ofartificial teeth were also taking place. The late 1800s and early 1900s experienced some of the most important advances inmedication and medical treatments. The discovery of penicillin; advances in surgerythat stopped wounds from getting gangrene, as well as operating theatres becominggerm-free environments; the use of sterilization to kill bacteria on surgicalinstruments; the discovery of different blood groups and blood compatibility orincompatibility, which showed that blood transfusions would only work if the bloodgroups were compatible, as well as the development of X-rays. Probably the most significant advances in healthcare were to come in 1911 and1948, with, first, the introduction of the National Health Insurance Act, 1911, andthen The National Health Service Act introduced in 1948. This later Act was toprovide healthcare that was free for all at the point of delivery. This 5th title in the Kent's Untold History series looks at many of these evolutions, development, and discoveries in rather more detail, with input from Kent newspapers in the British Newspaper Archive from the early 1700s right through tothe mid 1900s exploring how these advances and changes were implemented.

Humans are created to be social beings, living in communities that support each other. Somehow, we seem to have lost our focus on creating healthy communities. This book has been written to inspire readers to pay attention to the advantages of consciously building healthy communities through a return to relational interactions, which have been replaced to a large degree with transactions. Another trend the book explores is the cost of our obsession with efficiency, often to the detriment of effectiveness. And the fact that relational interactions have been the casualty of this shift in emphasis far too often. The author was motivated to put pen to paper because we have lost community as a fundamental platform for building thriving lives, and regressed to a "me" rather than "we" mentality. His dream is for us all to live in thriving communities that enable us to become the best version of ourselves.

Miserere Mei is translated simply as "have mercy on me," and has the same root as myrrh, or healing oil. Artist Georges Rouault channeled this healing energy in his powerful series Miserere et Guerre, a collection of prints created amidst World War I in France. This stunning series of images still beckons the viewer on a healing journey. As an artist, therapist, and spiritual seeker, author Joel Klepac explores themes of suffering, grief, love, and hope in the first 33 plates of the Miserere series (images included). He does not shy away from Rouault's Catholic spirituality inherent in the pieces, but rather appreciates the resonances with his own Eastern Orthodox Christian background, and connects them with universal human experiences of psychological and spiritual exploration and growth. Prepare to go on a journey into the subtle nuances of Rouault's images as well as the author's experiences in Romania, Russia, and India harmonizing with Rouault's themes. As an Internal Family Systems trained therapist, Klepac leverages his clinical training to guide the reader into their own connections with the images making available both written and audio versions of the guided meditations based on those themes. As you move through the Miserere series, you are invited into the compassionate gaze of Georges Rouault, to be illuminated and healed by his vision of humanity and inspired in your own way to embody compassion. "This publication shows how poignantly relevant Rouault's art is to the lives and sufferings of real people then as well as today." -Dr. Soo Kang, Professor of Art History, Chicago State University and author of Rouault in Perspective and coauthor with Holly Flora of This Anguished World of Shadows: George Rouault's Miserere "This book is a spiritual journey that goes deeply into Rouault's art--exposing the depths of despair, loneliness and hope. And Rouault's visionary art gives Joel Klepac eyes to pay attention to his own life as a therapist, missionary and spiritual director. The result is a moving meditation on the darkness and light that keeps company with all of us who seek to follow Christ." -William Dyrness, Senior Professor of Theology and Culture, Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California. Author of Rouault: A Vision of Suffering and Salvation and, most recently of Facts on the Ground: A Wisdom Theology of Culture (2022)."A unique and influential book! This is a powerful journey of self-discovery from multiple perspectives, beautifully interwoven. Joel is masterful in bringing together in his writing his artistic vision, missionary heart and his Internal Family Systems (IFS) wisdom.--- Ioana Popa MD, BCC, MTS, certified Internal Family Systems Practitioner, Team For The Soul(R), Coaching, Consulting & Spiritual Care "Part art encounter, part memoir, part theological reflection, and part contemplative meditation, Miserere Mei shows the formative power of art to reveal, comfort, and disrupt. In doing so, Klepac brings new life and vibrancy to George Rouault's artistic contribution in the modern world." -Wesley Vander Lugt, Director of the Leighton Ford Initiative in Theology, the Arts, and Gospel Witness at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and author of Beauty Is Oxygen: Finding a Faith that Breathes"Klepac's astute and precise reading of Rouault's dark images lead us into the actual darkness of the world. After vivid descriptions of his own experiences with street boys, the homeless and prisoners, in Romania, Russia and the Czech Republic, Klepac guides readers into a study of their own inner abandonment and forsakenness. A deep meditation on many levels." Br. Paul Quenon, OCSO, entered the Trappists in 1958 at the Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky, where Thomas Merton was his novice master
