In addition, the book provides clearly defined learning aims, a useful glossary of sociological concepts, structured activities and questions for discussion, and annotated suggestions for further reading.The editors and contributing authors to the book have a wealth of experience teaching sociology to nurses at diploma and degree pre-registration and post-registration levels. Their book will continue to spark interest and debate among all student nurses, particularly those approaching sociology for the first time.Please visit the accompanying website at: http://www.politybooks.com/sociologyfornurses.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, MedicineContributor: Elaine Denny (Edited by), Alistair Hewison (Edited by), Sarah Earle (Edited by)Author: Elaine DennyRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
