Jim Connelly

Prolific author, Jim Connelly (the Tom and Anna series, Mountain Boy, Wild Beauty, Talk of the Town, Round and About in Gippsland) goes back to his early years to bring us this revealing account of growing up in a small Victorian country town.

Prolific Australian author, Jim Connelly, ('Mountain Boy', 'Wild Beauty') turns to his own native Gippsland in his free-wheeling account of this beautiful, varied and historic region.

Well-known Australian author, Jim Connelly, gives us another series of quirky observations on himself and his local community. In this volume he adds another dimension: a collection of his original bush verse, some comic, some old-world sentimental, all bearing his special brand of sympathetic understanding of human nature.

40 years after leaving the General Manager position from the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, Jim Connelly can walk in the hotel and still have people wanting to meet with him. For the first time ever he has partnered with internationally known marketer, Nina Hershberger to share both their secrets to lifelong relationships and clients for life.

This book presents an introduction to modern public health seen from the perspective of practitioners of public health medicine. Written for non-practitioners interested in public health and as an essential introduction for those considering a career in public health medicine, the book uses illustrative case studies to demonstrate the practical application of public health techniques. In demonstrating the value of this approach, the book argues for the adoption of a realist health policy and radical reform of clinical medicine - to achieve public health. The skills of public health physicians are central to planning health services, purchasing effective and cost-effective treatments, and improving the quality of services. It is vital that those who plan and deliver health care understand their work and appreciate their contribution. This book describes that contribution, and provides a powerful analysis of the challenges the NHS and the wider community face in improving health.
