Customer Reviews

Essentials of Environmental Health by Robert H. Friis

The shipment came much faster than expected, a big surprise. The book is new and in perfect condition. Thank you for your service and honesty as this was another blind purchase.

Public Health environmental

Terribly boring. The diagrams and pictures explain everything, and the unnecessarily long chapters re-explain everything in excruciating detail. I can only read for about 25 seconds before falling asleep. But it is very thorough and makes things easy to understand. The diagrams are helpful, and the glossary in the back is nice. Unless this book is specifically required, try to find a more interesting one!!

Very quick

I got the book so quick from this seller and the book is in a very good shape

Great high school curricula for the homeschooled!

We are homeschooling two high school students this year and this was a perfect study! We obtained the tests and solutions manual by writing to the publisher... info@jbpub.com I love the way it gave a brief introduction to the professional fields of study, motivating my students to explore these further and find a possible future in them as a career. It also gave them a deeper appreciation and concern for the state of our environment.

Great review

It was a reasonable price and came faster than I expected. The book was also in very good condition for a used text.
