About the Contributors

This fifth edition brings new and former authors to the book. As before, some hold academic positions, some are in management or policy positions, and others are front-line practitioners. All came with a commitment to share their work with the readers as they contribute to this Canadian community health nursing text, and this further demonstrates the cyclical nature of theory and practice. Each brings expertise and knowledge to a particular chapter and topic. Each has presented the various historical, geographical, social, political, and theoretical perspectives that assist in explaining and describing community nursing practice.
