text: what is the health book name written by melesis in 1997?   you probably mean "theoretical nursing: development and progress" by afaf ibrahim meleis (not melesis, although that's a common typo).  1997 is the 3rd edition; the newer 2006 is the 4th edition.   it's published by lippincott.    1997 edition:  http://www.amazon.com/theoretical-nursing-afaf-ibrahim-meleis/dp/b000i7s5fc/sr=1-6/qid=1163826209/ref=sr_1_6/103-0649043-2011803?ie=utf8&s=books   2006 edition:  http://www.amazon.com/theoretical-nursing-afaf-ibrahim-meleis/dp/0781736730/sr=1-1/qid=1163826209/ref=sr_1_1/103-0649043-2011803?ie=utf8&s=books  i hope this answers your question.   let me know if you have additional questions.  :-)   [p.s. do i get "best answer"?  :-)  ]
