Harry Lee Cowles, a small but exceedingly quick and racquet-sports-talented product of English parents who had grown up in Newport, Rhode Island, where as a youngster he was taught all the racquet sports --- namely court tennis, squash racquets, squash tennis, lawn tennis and rackets --- at the famed Newport Casino (home of the International Tennis Hall of Fame and Museum) by its legendary English-born head pro Tom Pettitt. The latter, who had held the world championship throughout the period from 1885 - 90 in court tennis, his favorite sport, imbued in his young protégé an appreciation for the degree of cross-fertilization that exists among all the racquet games, especially those in which walls are involved. As one example, the heavy slice routinely utilized in stroking a court tennis ball (in order to cause the ball to drop straight down when it hits the back wall, making 
it difficult to return) is very helpful as well in making a squash ball die. It is also useful in deception, allowing the player to swing in one direction yet allow the ball to slide off in a quite different direction. 

Cowles is perhaps known best for both the number of U. S. Nationals champions he produced --- his total of seven (Myles Baker ’22, W. Palmer Dixon ’25, Herb Rawlins ’27, Larry Pool ’28, his younger brother Beekman Pool ’32, Willing Patterson ’32 and Germain G. Glidden ’36) far exceeds that of any other coach --- and for the variety of their styles. This latter phenomenon is a testament to Cowles’s ability to make a total assessment of a given player and intuit how that particular player, with his particular temperament, physique, racquet skills, mental assets, potentialities and limitations, could maximize his game. Cowles was able to think originally and to analyze the most subtle situation with the patience, persistence, clarity, understanding and imagination that characterizes all great teachers. It is a telling expression if Cowles’s philosophy in this regard that when he wrote his book “The Art Of Squash Racquets,” published in 1935, the summarizing chapter is entitled “The Best Game: Every Man To His Talent.”

A Classic
Format: Paperback
This is my favorite book by Dr. Watson. I have read it many times and continue to learn and deepen my own nursing practice. I highly recommend this book over all others. Whether you've been a nurse for 4 years or 40 years, you'll be surprised at what you'll learn.

Caring- updated.
Format: Paperback
It is refreshing to read The Philosophy and Science of Caring. Caring is central to nursing and frequently in the nursing literature. Watson has revised and expanded her Caring Science and Philosophy, offering new insights,science and exemplars. This book is useful for all nurses,scholars, practitioners and educators. It should be required reading for nursing regardless of practice venue. Bravo, Jean!

Good for research
Format: Paperback
Nursing research is not the place for me but it’s good to know this stuff before you become a nurse. I did use this for many assignments.
