Text by Teresa L. Williams (Puyallup, Wa USA)  4 Stars
October 20, 2009
I bought this book to go along with my college health class. Very informative, and I could see it being used for personal growth. Some sections were very text like, but it did incorporate fun.

It was the first time I purchase a book from amazon and am very impressed with the service. The book from the seller was in great condition just like brand new. Would definitely purchase again.

Excellent BASIC Health Information by M. Fujii (San Luis Obispo, CA United States) 5 Stars
August 25, 2009
I read this book for a college health class. It is full of great information. I love how it personalizes the information for the reader. For example, it includes many surveys that help the reader assess his/her own health in the area described. It is definitely written with a college-age reader in mind; topics often focus on issues young people would be facing. Like the title says, it covers the BASICS; it briefly touches on most areas of health, going into adequate detail but doesn't exhaustively explore any one topic. It is an excellent overview/introduction to the most common or important health concerns.

Really basic by Aba (DC)  2 Stars
May 12, 2009
I just bought this book, second hand, for $3, because I need it for some college class. The real price for this book is waaaaaayyyy to high.
The information on the book seemed to belong more to a primary school book and it was also kind of biased, if not totally wrong sometimes.
Some information was obsolete, but maybe it was fixed in the next edition even if I doubt it.
If you are required to buy this book for school, you have no choice (but go second hand!!). If not, stay away and find something with more accurate information.
