Rented this for my Master's -- Glad I didn't buy it!

This book has many different authors, so be prepared for those chapter citations! That tidbit aside, this book isn't for the multi-modal learner because it tends to go on and on in flowery explanation about all the different theorists and their terminology for their models. Not a table in sight to breakdown simply what the theory is and how it is different. Would it have killed these editors to use more tables??? Therefore, one must skim through pages of text to get to the meat of each theory, and even then the implementation and evaluation, and resources to utilize are skinny if noted at all. Since my course is designed to focus on the understand AND application of the theory in everyday nursing, this text often lacks the explanation to do this easily. I will not be adding this to my reference library for those reasons. However, it is nice in that it has many theorists discussed in one single textbook.
