Great information but Very wordy. Some sentences are repeated again within the chapter. I don't see any significant changes with this edition compared to 3rd. If anything, I would have bought the 3rd
This review is related to the textbook, NOT the seller. The seller shipped the book quickly and it was in great condition. However, the TEXTBOOK is riddled with numerous errors and CONSTANT redundancy! If the repetition was omitted, the textbook would be half the size. Obviously no one proofs the textbook before printing. One section stated that during the turn of the century, people did not go to hospitals and communicable diseases were the leading cause of death...Well, this was true at the turn of the 20th century! This book has been revised several times in the 21st century, so that statement is no longer true!!! One chapter discussed a 2008 study that predicted events from 2007 (not much of a prediction!). Very unprofessionally written. Maybe professors & schools need to read the text they require their students to read.
Repetitive and difficult to read. Would not recommend this book for casual use or study. Just very repetitive. Example: the book will define the same term in multiple ways in different parts of book or chapter. This can be great, but I have found that this book does it in a way that its confusing.
The information in the book is fine, though I agree with other reviews here that the presentation is a bit wordy. Wendy H.'s review is right; there have not been significant changes since the 3rd edition. As far as I can tell, the updates mainly consist of substituting "Healthy People 2020" in the 4th edition for "Healthy People 2010" in the 3rd. On the first day of class, some people admitted they bought the older edition. Our professor replied, "well, they're pretty much the same," and then emailed us a list of page equivalents for the readings. So I came on , and bought a used 3rd edition. This is why I never take off the school bookstore's shrink-wrap until after the first class.
No page numbers makes it extremely difficult to read the class reading assignments when I don't know what the corresponding pages are. I won't ever order another ebook textbook from kindle unless they can put the page numbers, just like other online retailers.
I bought this book brand new so it would come with all of the access codes I would need for class. It arrived without the pageburst access code, which I now have to pay extra for. Thanks a lot!
Super boring and takes hours to get through. I actually just gave up on this book altogether and split up the review with my classmates. Much better now!
This textbook was very helpful for my community nursing class. I used it quite a bit.
