Easy to read and understand and pertinent for the class that I am taking. This book arrived in pristine condition.

Textbook review

This text book has a ton of information on the elderly and the history of nursing in the gerontological field. The book is not real exciting to read, but the information that nursing students need is in there.

Toward Healthy Aging

Book is exactly what I ordered and was in perfect condition. Many students in my class were not able to obtain this book through the university bookstore.

The definitive textbook on geriatrics nursing

This book is the definitive text on geriatrics nursing. Its primary author, Priscilla Ebersole, RN, PhD, FAAN, is the editor of Geriatric Nursing, the leading magazine in the field, and is professor emerita of nursing, San Francisco State University and a pioneer in the field of geriatrics nursing.The list of contributors is a veritable 'Who's Who' in the field, and the text is as complete and definitive as might be expected of such a staff, each of whom is an expert in their own right.Mosby, a leader in the field, has outdone themselves in this effort.
