DoP Sept 2008, Christchurch Raised on a remote sheep farm in the Mid Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island, Emily Peters (1858-1927) had a remarkable career as a nurse. In the 1890s she travelled to the United Kingdom to train at Westminster Hospital. She then nursed in England and served as a nurse in the South African War and in Serbia and Egypt during World War I. In this intriguing book, two authors, Joan Woodward and Glenys Mitchell, have linked Emily Peter's surviving papers - among them a fascinating nursing casebook and a vivid war diary - into a narrative account of an extraordinary life of devotion to helping others. The book illuminates the history of nursing in England and New Zealand. It also casts a light on an emerging New Zealand nationhood and on women's emancipation. In Emily Peter's life and writings readers will see New Zealanders of British descent becoming a distinct people with their own national characteristics over a single generation.

It's more than golf shirt.
Color: Grey, Size: Large
This shirt is great for summer, beach, casual wear and outdoor activities. It's cool to touch and dry quick. The only thing you should be aware is that if you are on the plus size, the shirt does stick to your body sometimes and it does not compliment your body type well.

Soft and Easy Care
Color: Turquoise, Size: Medium, Color: Turquoise, Size: Medium
This is a great lightweight and moisture wicking golf shirt. The color is pretty and it has a UPF rating of 30+. The fabric has a soft, luxurious feel and the fit is true to size. The snaps fasten easily and are of good quality. This shirt washed up easily with no need for ironing. A nice shirt at a great price!

Almost perfection
Color: Khaki, Size: XX-Large
I have really liked this polo the fit is great material is so lightweight and breathable Chef's kiss. the one thing i didn't like is the white accent parts are like heat applied and peeled off after 2 washes it doesn't do anything to the polo but still a little disappointing i just peeled the rest of them off so quality leaves a little bit to be desired there. i wish they didn't include them and it would be 5/5 for me but if after 4 or 5 wears and 2 washes it peels off that is a little disappointing

This Shirt Is So Cozy My Husband Loves It — Perfect Fit and Style!
Color: Turquoise, Size: X-Large
I recently picked up the Alex Vando Men’s Golf Shirt, and I have to say, it has quickly become one of my husband’s favorites in his wardrobe. From the moment he tried it on, he raved about how soft and comfortable it feels. The material is lightweight and breathable, yet it doesn’t feel flimsy — it strikes the perfect balance for both everyday wear and active use. The moisture-wicking and quick-dry properties are a game-changer. He’s worn it for golf, casual outings, and even on warmer days, and it keeps him cool and dry without sticking uncomfortably. The UPF30+ is an added bonus for sunny days outside, giving some extra peace of mind during golf or tennis sessions. What I really love — and what he notices — is the attention to detail. The 3D checkered texture gives the shirt a subtle, sophisticated look that feels premium. The color-matched snap buttons are secure and easy to use, and the fine line detailing along the placket adds a touch of depth. The side panels and slit hem make movement easy, so he doesn’t feel restricted during activities. It’s clear this shirt is designed with both style and performance in mind. Fit-wise, it’s fantastic. It flatters his physique without feeling tight, giving a clean, streamlined look. He’s worn other golf polos before that were either too stiff or too loose, but this one hits the sweet spot perfectly. Another huge plus is the practicality. This shirt is wrinkle-resistant and washes beautifully, requiring no ironing. That makes it perfect for busy days when he wants to look sharp without extra effort. Overall, the Alex Vando Men’s Golf Shirt is a winner. It’s stylish enough for business casual, functional enough for sports, and incredibly comfortable for everyday wear. My husband loves it, and I’ve already noticed him reaching for it again and again. If you’re looking for a high-quality, versatile polo that combines comfort, style, and performance, this is absolutely worth trying.
