I have just purchased and read the new exciting third edition to transcultural nursing. The new updates not only provide an indepth understanding to the various cultural groups, but leaps ahead of its nearest competitors by adding in-depth understanding of biological variations particulalrly those genetic in nature. This book has been the standard for some 10 years. I am again delighted with this work and would highly recommend it as the first book to be bought to understand this extremely important topics.
