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).

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

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

Needed the book for continuing my education, and it seems so far to be interesting enough, although I haven't had much time to dig into it. It does have some interesting self-exams that spur the individual into digging deeper into their own health related habits (good and bad), and learn to modify their behavior.
