Contemporary Nutrition: A Functional Approach Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wardlaw presented the information so clear in this textbook. It was so easy to read and want to keep reading. The images used are extremely helpful in seeing how nutrition is essential in our day to day lives. I would recommend this book to everyone. No matter what you are studying, nutrition still affects us all.

Contemporary Nutrition: A Functional Approach is an alternate version of Wardlaw-Smith's Contemporary Nutrition, 8e. While Contemporary Nutrition: A Functional Approach shares the recognized strengths of the eighth edition, it offers a unique approach to the coverage of vitamins and minerals. It departs from a traditional presentation by instead organizing vitamins and minerals within the context of physiological functions and the health conditions they influence. The text will provide students who lack a strong science background the ideal balance of reliable nutrition information and practical consumer-oriented knowledge. With their friendly writing style, the authors act as the student's personal guide to dispelling common misconceptions and to gaining a solid foundation for making informed nutrition choices.

Wellness: Concepts and Applications Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This seller is unfair, not understanding, not accomidating and is rude. I was in need of this book for class and thought i would try amazon.com and see what i come up with. I found that the price was a 20 dollar difference thatn getting it through my school. So i went ahead and paid for a New book and One day shipping. Recieved this Two days later and not a new book. This book i recieved was used, it has pages missing out of it. So when i contacted the seller about it i offered a few suggestions since i am in need of the book. I suggested that he send me a new one and i will send this one back as an exchange. He told me 'No if you want a refund you have to send the book back." After that i treid to reason with him again and was told that if i keep the book i would only get the shipping cost back. Never recieved that either. So after that i filed a clami with Amazon and asked him again what he would do about this and had explain multiple times that if i don't have this book and the pages that are missing i will come close to failing this class. He didn't care at all. Told me it was not his concern and that he would not do anything about it to help or accomidate the need. So then i told him i would ship it back and was told that i had to pay to ship it back and he wanted tracking on it. I'm not paying for something that i had paid for in the first place to be the right book and what i wanted. I will never order from someone outside of Amazon.com again. This is just rediculous i have to go through all this trouble just to get my money back when it was not my mistake in the first place. I paid the 54 for the book and 18 for the shipping. I was not pleased right from the start. He didn't have to pay anything and still wants me to pay to ship it back with tracking and conformation. I do not think so. I will never order from this seller again. Very upset and dislike how i have been treated as well. m

Color Atlas and Synopsis of Sexually Transmitted Diseases Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I believe this was a great book, it provided a lot of needed information on stds, the contraction of certain disease, etc. It was almost like a reference guide to me. It made me feel much better after i had gained all the needed knowledge. STD'S are one of those "quiet diseases", that nobody really talks about...However,you have to get your information from somewhere, right?....So why not get it from a reliable source with a huge layout of information.(even pictures) So, all in all i rate this book a 5, i doubt it could throughly describe std's any better then it did.

A Doody's Core Title!

5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!"Any practitioner, public health official, or educator in the field will find a use for this book. Patients may find it valuable for education purposes, as well....This second edition certainly has improved upon its predecessor. Its practical nature, clear photos, and comments following clinical cases provide practitioners with expert guidance as if the editor were physically present. Seldom does a book deliver what it promises; however, in this instance, it has and I feel it will become a standard for years."--Doody's Review Service
From the author's world renowned collection of clinical photographs comes this unprecedented collage of full color views of common and uncommon sexually transmitted diseases. An invaluable tool for differential diagnosis of STDs, the atlas features one to two color photograph for each disorder and accompanies those with the salient points of epidemiology, clinical signs, physical exam, diagnosis, and management. Coverage of therapy is expanded in this edition and new photographs are provided for HIV, AIDS, opportunistic infections, and much more.

Focus on Health Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is practically written to reinforce common sense stuff dealing with health. Unfortunetly many of us choose to forget these things soon after we learn them. this book for many of us is not a "fun read" rather a requirement for a class.
You can read this book in about 5 hours and pass the class. I did!

Focus on Health offers an exciting and practical approach to the teaching of the traditional content areas of personal health. Its two key themes - the six dimensions of health and the five developmental tasks - help students apply the text's content to their own lives, by improving their decision-making skills. The strength of the Focus on Health narrative includes its appeal to both traditional and non-traditional students, particularly the special attention it pays to students over age 25 who have returned to college. In addition, among its many health assessment activities, Focus on Health includes one of the most comprehensive health assessments found in any personal health textbook - a great tool for establishing a health baseline for students.The companion Online Learning Center (website) offers a wealth of pedagogical and assessment features, including quizzes, Internet activities, downloadable MP3s, and more.
