It's a nice book and everything, but it's intended for college freshmen learning to live away from home for the very first time. It's basic "Freshmen 101". So, sure, get it for your high school senior to read over the summer before leaving home. It's got chapters on how to eat right and drinking responsibly, sex ed, stress, and the basic health information that a college freshman needs. It comes with a silly little workbook. The only real issue with the book is that I am NOT the target demographic and it was required for an upper level college course. Not the book's fault.
Purchased for a health class. Book has a lot of good information, but the flow of reading is interrupted by tons and TONS of statistics and it's hard to get through an entire chapter without becoming bored and exhausted. I would discourage teachers from using this book. I normally enjoy reading, but coming across numbers and figures in every other sentence becomes quite demanding.
This book, which was required for a class I took, is so mind boglingly stupid that I cant help but wonder if my teacher chose to use this text in class in an attempt to teach via reverse psychology. F F$%@ing minus to the authors.
Has the normal wear and tear on the outside from not being a paper back. Unless you want a perfect book and want to buy brand new, this book is in great condition. I got the book fairly quickly, I believe it took over a week. No highlighting or marks inside.
This Hales text is more worthless than what you find in musty old basements or dirty garages because that is exactly thevintage books that Hales had her $4/hour contractors in India copy this text from. What else would explain there being nomention of glaucoma, presbyopia, prions, or the ozone layer or one hundred other medical discoveries in any of Hale's books?Very few of Hale's books ever get read. They are purchased because Cengage, the unscrupulous publisher, over agressivelymakes dirty deals with department chairs to foist these books on students by telling them they are required. Adjuncts haveto use them or get fired. The writing is just silly. What would you expect when the author, Dianne Hales, is a college drop-out? She will say go to mylink and see I have a masters but you follow her link and there is NOTHING about this phantom degree she claims to have.You want to get books authored by Ph.Ds who actually went to college and stayed there more than one year and then went onto get advanced degrees. I taught this book for one semester. It took about a week for the students to discover that the book was a sham and theystopped reading it. In fact, after having had to pay over $100 for the book then $17 for on-line connection, and then $17 forthe test bank their spirits were broken to know that the school had ripped them off. Half the faculty quit rather thancontinue to teach from this imposter text.DO NOT PURCHASE THIS OR ANY OTHER TEXT BY HALES UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. TOTAL RIP OFF!!!!!
I purchased this book for my daughter's college class this past spring. It was in excellent condition and substantially less expensive than the college bookstore. Very happy with it.
Bought this used for very cheap. Was is great condition and arrived quickly. Text books are so expensive so it is nice to be able to buy some on  for a fraction of the price.
It's perfectly fine as a school book. Not exactly something I would read in my spare time for leisure.Hence the average rating.
