As the other reviews were from students, I have to add, as a clinician, I find this book outstanding. It is an invaluable and comprehensive resource for any clinicain interested in wellness and prevention. It draws on expertise from leaders in the field and offers a breadth of evidence-based information on health promotion. The text includes multi-cultural perspectives which is an added benefit. I highly recommend this text to any health care professional interested in health promotion.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly written, difficult to read/, May 5, 2003

By 

John F Gunderson (Spearfish, SD United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Health Promotion Throughout the Lifespan (Paperback)

I am in nursing school and this is the worst book I have ha to read in my college career. It is difficult to read and much of the information is old. One reason it is hard to read is that 75% of the text is referencing to other research work and it disrupts the reading flow. Do not buy this book!
