Reviews from Amazon users, collected at the time the book is getting published on UniedVRG. It can be related to shiping or paper quality instead of the book content:

⭐ The book gets 4 stars when it could have had 5. Why?Well, there are far too many editions, revisions, etc available and it’s a confusing landscape to navigate. I mean, yes, I can figure it out but I really shouldn’t have to. There’s no reason for this. Provide 1 low cost alternative, a mid-range paperback, and a kindle version. That’s it. The digital packages are also not clear but whatever. That’s enough of that.Some people liked the illustrations. I found the layout a bit much. As though a graphic design student got a little ambitious and forgot about function. When trying to read all the information on the page, it starts to interfere with the flow of reading a chapter in sequence. It’s a problem. I like design in fact, I love design but design should work WITH a concept and not against it. Too many times I found myself skipping over a shout out or inset so I could finish a chapter and then forgetting to go back and read something. That is not good. The design should be set up better so complete thoughts can end and allow students to also read the inlays/insets. It’s highly fragmented.Still, I’m not going to give it a low rating because the overall information was good and it wasn’t poorly written (though there were certain chapters I took issue with).

⭐ This goes for a lot of textbooks in the Health industry, but most of the information is about 10-20 years old, and has been proven either wrong, or just more information that changes the way of thinking. Great book for someone who knows nothing about health, but common sense and recent research renders much of the book outdated.

⭐ I like it. It’s loose leafe so it’s convient to only take the pages you need vs dragging the whole book around. As for the context itself, it’s interesting. It’s actually relevent so you’ll find yourself wanting to study.

⭐ Its a great iteam

⭐ Easy to read, informative and up to date.

⭐ If you don’t want to lug a textbook around all semester but want to keep current in the class during chapter discussions, then I recommend the loose leaf style of this textbook for you. Just take what you need and leave the rest at home. ALL textbooks should have this option! (I have to use a box cutter on some of mine to get this convenience.) The only thing better than this is a digital version.

⭐ Everything was great

⭐ Not the best textbook, but certainly not the worstI feel sometimes like the book is trying to make me diagnose problems I don’t actually have, but if I did have them I would want to know.

⭐ Although the book was literally highlighted in every paragraph, the book was in great condition. I would have given it 5 stars but I feel that the information inside the book is common sense

⭐ Arrived early than I expected.My class is using the newest edition from this author, but I decided to use the 10ed. However, the information 10ed and 11ed has the same topic and info 🙂
