Customer Reviews

Accurate description

There was a bit of hi-lighting and some wear and tear but in the condition described. I was happy with this purchase.

Health: The Basics (8th edition)

The Book was in great condition, and it came as described. Also, the book was shipped and receive in the same week, so the shipping was fast!!

Yes, it is the basics

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.

A helpful book on maintaining a healthy life

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.
