Four were written for nurses and one focused on medical aspects of dementia and cognitive impairment. A panel of five reviewers from three states across Australia assisted with reading the books, rating them on a range of criteria, and choosing the winner. The winner of the Australasian Journal on Ageing book prize this year was the second edition of a book edited by Rhonda Nay and Sally Garratt: Nay R, Garratt S. Nursing older people: Issues and innovations. Sydney: Churchill Livingstone, 2004.
