In Pillitteri's child and family health nursing in Australia and New Zealand, no authors are listed at the beginning of the chapters, or in the contents list, but there is a list of contributors, and under each it lists the chapter(s) they have written.
Sometimes contributors are listed with no attributed chapters. These do not need to be listed in the reference.
