I found this book to be effective as both a reference tool, and a text book. The illustrations are well done and easy to understand. The page lay-out is unique and provides a combination of colorful diagrams and interesting facts. I highly recommend it to women, like me, who have limited medical knowledge, but want to understand their bodies.

I was initially drawn to this book because a family member had had a stroke and I really appreciated having an explanation that I (and my mother) could understand. The illustrations really make the difference. Although I've only had the book a short while, I've turned to it several more times as other ailments have impacted friends and families. Although the title says it's for Women's Health issues, many of the items discussed impact men as well. The glossary and online resources for more information were really helpful - I would also have liked an index. The only thing I found missing was information on Parkinson's. But overall this is a terrific resource that I highly recommend.

This book does an excellent job of explaining the basics in women's health. It provides a core of knowledge from which to begin any discussion with a medical professional whether it be about treatment of a current condition or prevention of future problems. The text is very readable and the illustrations make the presentation complete. Every woman owes it to herself to read this book.

This is a nice guide that gives you a nice illustrated overview. It not only describes women's health issues but even touches on subjects such as gastric reflux and strokes. Overall a good guide and good value a bit basic for a health care professional but to the point. Well done!

This is an excellent book! A must for every woman's private collection. It is a easy guide that explores a number of current health problems surrounding today's women. This book provides detailed descriptions as well as statistic A must read!

We need more books like this... well-illustrated, easy to understand, and highly informative. In fact, I thought it did such a good job explaining the basics of women's health that I bought copies for all my female relatives who span in ages from early 20's to early 70's.

If you're looking for a book on general women's health issues, this is the book for you. Colorful, well-drawn illustrations help clearly explain the issues.

All the women in my family received this book as a gift this year. It's time for women to start taking control of their health and well-being. By reading this book you get a greater understanding of the health issues you face. Health issues that impact not only you, but those you love.

The beauty of this book is in the simplicity it offers the reader. It is not an intimidating medical journal full of facts and figures that require assistance from a "decoder." The materials are relevant, informational and more importantly understandable. In a time when we are barraged by media medical frenzy, this book helps to answer the most essential questions of a women's biology. I highly recommend it to women (and their male relatives) of all ages to keep handy!

The book gives clear explanations with detailed pictures. It's a user-friendly guide to a variety of women's health issues.

I love this book because it covers so many different topics, yet keeps it simple and easy to understand. I think it's important for women today to take charge of their health. The more you know about your own body, the sooner you can detect what it is and how to fix it. And, as research shows, the earlier the better. To this book, I make a toast, "Here's the women's health!"
