Reviews

  • The content is well researched and the author has succeeded in compiling a great deal of historical material about nursing … that makes this excellent encyclopedia a worthwhile reference book.

    American Reference Books Annual

  • Belongs in academic libraries supporting nursing programs, and a handsome addition to a nurse's or nursing student's personal library.

    Choice

  • A wonderful addition to any reference collection.

    Library Journal

  • I highly recommend Historical Encyclopedia of Nursing for any academic library whose institution has a nursing program. Larger public libraries should also consider purchasing this fine book.

    Reference & User Services Quarterly

  • The Historical Encyclopedia of Nursing is a joy to read. From the preface to the introduction through each and every entry, the author brings life and sensitivity to the dynamic history of nursing [and] treats the subject with the greatest of justice … The Historical Encyclopedia of Nursing is a must for any library that holds a collection of nursing literature, women's studies, and history in general.

    E-Streams

  • …a 'must' for any serious medical library collection…
