3.0 out of 5 stars OK Textbook, November 2, 2007

By	R. D. Lakhia "Lucky 99" (San Jose, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: An Invitation to Health (with CengageNOW and InfoTrac 1-Semester Printed Access Card) (Paperback)

Considering this was a textbook for me, and probably will be for most buyers, I did not find it of the high standards most textbooks are. I have found some errors in it too. More than once there is "see page *** " in the book. Did the editors of the book not go over this book enough times to have these errors?
But on the good side, the book is also a good compilation of information. Too much information. But for college students that might be a plus. It makes 18 and 19 year olds aware of a lot of health issues, from drugs, alcohol, contraception, etc. etc. the list goes on. In each of the chapteres, dealing with these topics there is a special section geared for college kids. There are also statistics for college kids, and on campus serveys.
So overall, I will give this book 3 and half stars. The author is dealing with a lot of material, and she does a good job of presenting it. Its not her fault that this is a very vast subject, and in order to fit it in some book she has to pack a lot of facts in every sentence. (Translated as Dry).

5.0 out of 5 stars An Invitation to Health, February 8, 2009

By	Agnes D. Garcia "Very satisfied client" (San Leandro, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: An Invitation to Health (with CengageNOW and InfoTrac 1-Semester Printed Access Card) (Paperback)

The book is like branch new. I received the book just in time. I would say I was very satisfied with my purchase through Amazon. I had purchase books from other places but since the image of the book was not displayed and ISBN was misleading I end up with a book that I don't need and since it was very cheap, it was useless for me to send it back since shipping cost will cost me more. Having the image and ISBN displayed will really make a big difference for online purchases.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great BOOK!, January 10, 2007

By	Amie J. Frances "--- A" (Portland Oregon) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great book for anyone looking to do well in Health classes or someone who just wants to work on their nutrition. Its great because there are all kinds of statistics on body mass index, nutiritonal values and even includes the new food pyramid. It was amazing and I really learned more than I thought I would.
