abstract: Nursing Research is a spacious text, heavy to hold but full of variety to the eye. The 11 contributors are all academic nurses in the USA. It is designed as 'an undergraduate textbook to systematically present the perspective of the nurse as a consumer of research', but also for nurses seeking to expand their knowledge. The editors assume that readers will have little experience of research or statistics.
