ReviewsI will just say once again that I LOVE this text and will continue using it until I retire, whenever that might be. Not seeing it happen anytime soon. I LOVE teaching this material and as it's a mandatory class and most students hate [that] they have to take it, by the time we are done, I have them won over and they end up coming in to talk more and more about their health with me and even take other classes I teach, like nutrition. Keep doing what you are doing, it works!, We chose this text because the authors were able to take topics that were typically isolated to 'health in a textbook' and related them to real life.
