Reviewing Personal HealthMarch 23, 2008 H. Chichester(NYC-but I'm nice anyway) This textbook is a very informative book about how to maintain your health. It can be a bit on the graphic side-with pictures and description of diseases, for example-but this isn't a bad thing. It is important to know what you are up against in this world and how to keep yourself healthy.
