Product Description
AN INVITATION TO HEALTH, Twelfth Edition has been a best-selling personal health text for many years, largely due to its ability both to introduce the topics of health and wellness and also to inspire students to put the facts of what makes good health and wellness into practice. The unique approach of Dianne Hales's text revolves around the student focus (i.e. examples students can relate to, contemporary coverage, visual appeal, testing preparation). This text is comprehensive in its coverage and includes the latest research and data on topics students care about, from personal relationships, to eating habits and understanding health risks. Because changing for life is a major theme of this edition, a new "Your Life Coach" section presents practical information on how to make healthful changes. To enhance the critical thinking aspect, case studies have been added in each chapter that will present a personal issue involving making a healthy choice. Also, "You Decide" boxes in each chapter ask a controversial question for student reflection, such as same-sex marriage and legalization of marijuana. They are also linked to Personal Response System "clicker" content and a new online journal. Additionally, with this updated Twelfth Edition, there is the new HealthNow Online assessment and learning tool, including pre- and post-tests, a personalized behavior change plan, and activities to add enjoyment to learning and allow students to explore, experience, and better understand the benefits of healthy living. We also now offer Pedometers, over 500 PowerPoint® slides, new ABC® video clips, and much more. The Twelfth Edition continues to offer the same great content, features, and support materials, and now is taking it even further by emphasizing the importance of behavior change and developing life skills.

 Great book! November 18, 2009
Doris Lagos
This book arrived in great condition and quickly! I learned a lot from this book, even though I had to have it for a college course.

Needed the book for continuing my education, and it seems so far to be interesting enough, although I haven't had much time to dig into it. It does have some interesting self-exams that spur the individual into digging deeper into their own health related habits (good and bad), and learn to modify their behavior.
Awesome! August 1, 2009

Fast shipping and book was in great condition! Thanks again. I will be buying more college books from you :)

The book is like branch new. I received the book just in time. I would say I was very satisfied with my purchase through Amazon. I had purchase books from other places but since the image of the book was not displayed and ISBN was misleading I end up with a book that I don't need and since it was very cheap, it was useless for me to send it back since shipping cost will cost me more. Having the image and ISBN displayed will really make a big difference for online purchases.
 OK Textbook November 2, 2007

2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Considering this was a textbook for me, and probably will be for most buyers, I did not find it of the high standards most textbooks are. I have found some errors in it too. More than once there is "see page *** " in the book. Did the editors of the book not go over this book enough times to have these errors?
But on the good side, the book is also a good compilation of information. Too much information. But for college students that might be a plus. It makes 18 and 19 year olds aware of a lot of health issues, from drugs, alcohol, contraception, etc. etc. the list goes on. In each of the chapteres, dealing with these topics there is a special section geared for college kids. There are also statistics for college kids, and on campus serveys.
So overall, I will give this book 3 and half stars. The author is dealing with a lot of material, and she does a good job of presenting it. Its not her fault that this is a very vast subject, and in order to fit it in some book she has to pack a lot of facts in every sentence. (Translated as Dry).
