520			_aFocusing on the use of existing research (not the process of conducting new research), this textbook presents the skills employed when reviewing a published study. Chapters concentrate on elements such as the language of the report, argument and conclusions, descriptive results, inference, sampling errors, data collection methods, research design, and the research process. Real-world examples appear in the appendix. Macnee teaches at East Tennessee State University College of Nursing. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
