Please be careful when ordering this book. This book is a BRIEF edition of the complete book. Chapters are shorter and some chapters are left out. You will not be on the same chapter as your class! I hope this helps

I am a college freshmen and was new to actually having to purchase books. When i went to the bookstore, I was stunned to hear that the price to this book had been $115. I had heard about buying books online but I was really skeptical about it. Very unsure of myself, I looked it up on Amazon, and to my surprise, I only payed $80. This book has all the information you will need with modern health issues; all ranging from simple stress to complex cancers. You really get your money's worth due to the fact that it is the newest edition on the market, which you would usually find at a much higher price. The price alone satisfied me, but the condition and the time at which it was delivered were a bonus. I defenitly recommend the purchase of this book if it is required by your professors.
