On the front cover is the iconic painting Mission of Mercy: Florence Nightingale Receiving the Wounded at Scutari (1858), a composite scene by Jerry Barrett. Reproduced courtesy of the National Portrait Gallery. The front flap shows one of Nightingale’s pioneering area charts adapted to a new issue—climate change. Emissions data of 2006 from the Energy Information Administration, population data of 2007 from the Population Reference Bureau. Chart prepared by Lynn McDonald and Patricia Warwick. On the back cover is one of Nightingale’s classic rose or area charts, ‘‘Diagram of the Causes of Mortality.’’ The image on the back flap—a modified clock chart that uses the same data as the area charts on the back cover—was prepared by Lynn McDonald and Patricia Warwick. ∞ Printed in Canada Every reasonable effort has been made to acquire permission for copyright material used in this text, and to acknowledge all such indebtedness accurately.
