Dry and Basic
23. September 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
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 4th, 7th and 10th leading causes of death, respectively. Under an entirely different heading of "Leading Causes of Death" they proceed to say the EXACT SAME THING. Why bother? Are they getting paid by the word? That's not even including the fact that each of these topics has a sentence stating the same thing in a separate paragraph elsewhere in the book.
ONE PAGE LATER they define "Prevention" as "planning for and taking of action to prevent or forestall the occurrence of an undesirable event." You're seriously going to define a word with its root? I don't know a 3rd grade teacher who'd let that fly. "What is Prevention?" "It's when you prevent something"
Frankly, it's insulting.
If their goal was to turn away as many people from the field as possible, then mission accomplished.
Introductory books should pique the interest of curious minds, not turn them away with boredom and repetition. Community Health is such a vibrant and interesting topic, and somehow this book manages to turn it simultaneously into one of the dullest and most condescending, reads I've come across.
Either a massive re-edit or a complete re-write is called for here.
Avoid this.

Don't buy unless you have to!
4. Februar 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is the most ridiculously boring and worst written textbook I have ever read. 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!

Awesome
9. Juli 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
As a college student buying books is a investment that we sometimes don't want to make. I have been in college for 2 years, and I would never even dream of buying a text book for a $1.77. I was shocked when I saw the price! I am the type of student that needs the book even if the professor says we don't need it. So it was awesome getting this book at this price. It was $177 or something close to that at my schools book store. I got my book two days later as promised with the student account thing that Amazon has! This book has some great information and is an easy read.
