5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written, May 28, 2001
By A Customer
For a textbook, this book is rather readable. The type is a good size, and it contains a lot of pictures and diagrams. The included CD is also very handy; it contains the full text of the textbook in searchable PDF format (minus some copyrighted photos) plus sample quizzes, videos, weblinks, and sound clips. Each chapter begins with a short "story" that features a character who has a good healthstyle and a character who has a negative healthstyle. The writing is also relatively informal and easy to understand. I learned a lot from the chapters, especially the one on nutrition.
