pmoseley Pamela Snyder Book was in great condition, like new. Arrived in plenty of time before class began. I will order again from this person.. "Dry and Basic" according to Douglas E. Wong. This book is horrendously dry. You're about as well off reading a list of community-health related vocabulary terms as this book. This book is a series of barely connected terms and statistics. There's no through-line. The goal of the authors seems to be to stuff as much terminology into its pages as possible. Even going so far as to write full paragraphs repeating information that had been discussed previously.Example, page 106. Under "Other Noncommunicable Disease Problems," they use an entire paragraph to state that COPD, diabetes and chronic liver disease are the Dry and Basic Douglas E.

It combines the most basic common sense of health, with useless statistics and words you will never use. I learned about 7 things in this book. It's mostly filled with lies of how government and other health organizations are trying hard to keep the public healthy when we all know that just isn't true. Everyone is just trying to make money. In conclusion DO NOT buy this book unless you have to for a class, and if you do my apologies!
