There's some excellent info in this textbook, however, there's also a lot of inaccurate info too. My professor repeatedly made corrections for the many wrong "facts" in this text.

And as a previous reviewer noted, there are graphic close-up images of body parts - duh, it's a college biology textbook on human health. If you can't handle a picture of an infected body part, then you shouldn't take a human biology class and this book should be avoided.

Not too bad of a book for a starting health ed class that focuses on the individual. Glad to be done with it and teaching for the semester!
