'This is a rich, smorgasbord of a book… The book offers an important and insightful contribution to the literature and is a ‘should read’ (ethically important) for anyone who is charged with teaching evidence-based practice to nurses or attempting to implement it in their institutional settings... Among the strengths of this book is its in-depth, nuanced and critical exploration of EBP and its role in meeting nursing goals and patient goods. Each author draws on his or her own prior scholarship and background to explore or parse particular aspects of EBP. The complexity involved in the concept of EBP is highlighted in a way that is not available in any other publication of which I am aware.' - Pam Grace, Nursing Philosophy(Vol 17, Issue 2, April 2016) 'Life in the modern world is ruled and shaped by evidence. This book examines exactly what we mean by evidence. It is an engaging read for researchers and practitioners willing to grapple with what often are the grey areas surrounding the implementation of the most up-to-date clinical evidence and to consider innovative ways of achieving best practice. It makes a valuable contribution to the emerging literature taking a critical approach to EBP.'- Dr Catherine O'Neill, Nursing Times
