SciTech Book News

As a resource for librarians and other buyers of high-level books, SciTech Book News, published quarterly, cites about 2000 new books from several hundred publishers in each issue, offering concise reviews and annotations and thorough bibliographic information. The bibliography itself is arranged by subject, but this page and the other publisher pages present the material arranged by publisher.

Entries include title, author, series (in parentheses), publisher, copyright date, number of pages, price (at the time of listing), Library of Congress subject classification code, and ISBN. For scholarly and reference books, we note if they lack a subject index or a bibliography. Size is mentioned when the book exceeds 8.5x11 inches.

Evidence-based protocols for managing wandering behaviors.

Ed. by Audrey Nelson and Donna L. Algase.

978-0-8261-6365-3

Wandering behaviors are among the most frequent and dangerous conditions associated with dementia. Nelson, director of the Tampa Patient Safety Center of Inquiry, and Algase (nursing, University of Michigan) synthesize the latest research on wandering from the clinical, health care management, and policy literature. Emphasis is on the day-to-day challenges of patient care, in settings including nursing homes, assisted living facilities, home health agencies, and hospitals. Coverage includes a construct of wandering, assessment, biopsychosocial issues, interventions, and future directions. The book's interdisciplinary contributors are affiliated with the International Consortium for Research on Wandering. (Annotation ©2007 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
