Summary: Yes, it is the basics
Comment: Health the Basics is just that and nothing more. Needed this book for a required class and will probably never look at it again after the semester.

Summary: Terrible book
Comment: From what I can tell, this book has no editing. The self-help quizzes were often nonsensical, the information was either common sense or obsolete, and some information had been proven incorrect several years before the date of publication. The quizzes that the instructor gave us had incorrect "correct" answers. By that I mean the quizzes that came with the teaching edition of the book. The professor, in fact, notified us of this at the beginning of the class. I feel sorry for the men who took this class, since the book seemed to be geared more towards females. The only thing this book does, if taken seriously, is cause the reader to become hypochondriac.

Summary: negative
Comment: I ordered the 6th edition and received the 5th edition. However, delivery was fast, but i still have to return the book. WOuld recommand everyone to ask a question to the seller before ordering the book just to make sure that the book YOU need is the one Seller is selling! ! It sucks when you receive a wrong book and have a quiz next day in the class ! !

Summary: BORING!
Comment: This book is dull and boring....in fact, I would never have purchased it if it wasn't required for my college class. Everything in here is common sense or if you watch the news, you all ready know everything presented. I started reading the first chapter and it completely put me to sleep, now when preping for a test, I mearly browse through the book and read the required definitions that will be on the test.

Summary: A helpful book on maintaining a healthy life
Comment: The reason that I purchased the book was because of the health class I was taking at college. As I read through the chapters, they really interest me, and remind me of little things that I have always tend to forget. There are no big theories in the book, just simple "life little reminders". When I purchased this book, it also comes with a workbook, which contains review and practice tests to help you to reinforce the ideas. The book helps me to correct some of my daily bad habbits. And even the class is over now, I still read the book sometime to learn more. I think this is a great book for readers who would like to live a healthy life and to take control of themselves, just like me.
