Wellness: Concepts and Applications

This book came in fast and ready for school. The quality however wasn't the ultimate best. It did look like it had kind of been through the ringer so just be careful. It still got the job done though, so I can't really complain. Plus, with every rental you need to be careful anyways. I didn't use it long because it's the wrong version for class.

I normally never review books, however this is an occasion I believe a review would be helpful.This book has pages that can be removed. IF you buy this book USED, know that your professor will most likely need the ASSESSMENTS at the end of every chapter. My professor has us write it on a separate piece of paper.I give this word of caution, because I bought mine USED, I had all of my pages, however a peer of mine also bought one, and hers had the assessment pages missing. I allowed her to take pictures of the assessment pages.Great book, very informative, would recommend wellness courses.

When I ordered the book I was disappointed with the shipping. The seller wrapped the book in christmas paper and attached a label and sent it. Item was received "damaged" because the wrapping paper was torn during transit. Item was not shipped in a box or any kind of protection. It was simply wrapped in christmas paper (which had a used christmas label on it) and sent. After opening the package, the book did not appear damaged, but I was rather disappointed that the seller didn't take more care in sending package.As for the book, I like the lay out. Its very easy to read and for the most part I enjoy it.

Exactly what I needed for school I appreciate amazon saving college students so much money on books! Thank you!

I was very pleased with the content of this textbook. I learned a lot and all the sidebars were very informative as well. I would highly recommend this book to anyone in general wishing to learn more about a healthy lifestyle. I still do not see why it is priced as $131 (new) unless it comes with some sort of wonderful software, etc. I purchased it new as a college textbook for around $35.

Bought for my son's class. It is actually very informative, and he keeps reading me sections out of it. It's good that he finds the information interesting enough to share.It's a good book to read for Wellness information, it is making him more aware of not just nutrition, but of diseases and safety.

I love this book! This book was a real eye opener. I'm taking this for Lifetime Fitness in school but I'm keeping the book for my own reference. It covers every aspect of wellness and has activities at the end of each chapter. The activities are about you, assessing your bmi, tracking daily exercise, stressors, absolutely everything. It is well writing and has many charts and photos that break up the monotony of reading.

I had never rented a textbook before. I didn't realize that I needed to purchase a book for this class and needed one right away! Didn't have to funds to purchase so renting worked great for my situation... although I would prefer to own my books, this was definetly a great option to have. highly recommend if you are in a bind and need a book ASAP
