Praise for previous editions: 'The perfect text for any health care professional whowishes to gain a sound understanding of research...This textsucceeds where others fail in terms of the thoroughness of theresearch process and the accessible style in which the material ispresented. In an age when nursing and health care research is goingfrom strength to strength this book offers those in the world ofacademia and practice an excellent and essential 'bible' that is amust on any bookshelf' (Dr Aisha Holloway, Lecturer AdultHealth, Division of Nursing, The University ofNottingham) "This new edition is worth buying," (Nursing Standard,July 2010) "The first edition of this book was published 20 years ago and Iwish I had seen it then. It is only over the last 10 years or sothat I have actively become more interested and this book wouldhave certainly stimulated my interest much sooner. If you areundertaking a research activity it is a book that helps you eachstep of the way. A very understandable and enjoyable publication.(Accident and Emergency Nursing Journal)More details
