About the author
Founded in Philadelphia in 1888 by Walter Burns Saunders, W. B. Saunders Company built its reputation by publishing medical and health sciences books for students and professionals. Over time, its list became especially associated with medicine, nursing, and related clinical fields.
The company later became part of larger publishing groups. It was acquired by CBS in 1968 and added to Holt, Rinehart & Winston, and today Saunders continues as an imprint of Elsevier.
Because this is a publishing company rather than an individual author, there is no single personal biography to tell. Its importance comes from its long role in producing widely used educational and professional texts in the health sciences.
