Full of valuable information on public health theory. It is easy to read, making the theory very easy to understand if it is your first time learning about theory used in health behaviors.
This is just "ok". I find many sections kind of boring and the author seems to jump aroud quite a bit.
It did not come with the access code for the website which would of been really helpful
Thought it would be written more in laymen's terms.
The book was brand new and in perfect condition.
As expected. Great service
Great! Service excellent!
