Got this book because it was required for a course I am taking at Walden University. Very interesting so far. Very informative.
By TB
I read this book for a college course. The book was sometimes a bit dry, but the dry spots never lasted long. This book is packed with information and it relates directly to health promotion and community health and it basically spells all of this out for it's readers. This book was easy to understand and it is by far the most interesting content book I have read in my three years in college. I am very impressed and I intend to keep this book as a reference book for the future.
I recommend this book for any and all aspiring health educators/promoters.
