Description: Dr. Rosemary Ellis (1919-1986) was one of nursing's most penetrating thinkers and treasured scholars. Here, for the first time, is a collection of many previously unpublished writings, as well as several of her classic publications. In these writings, Dr. Ellis tries to get to the very essence of nursing science and to lay the philosophical groundwork for the development of theory and research to improve nursing practice. Written with unusual clarity of thought and expression, this fundamental resource will be valuable to nurse researchers, theorists, educators, graduate students.
