4 out of 5 stars Exactly what I ordered   September 16, 2008
The book arrived in a decent amount of time and was in perfect shape (as described).


5 out of 5 stars The "Ne Plus Ultra" for Learning About Health Behavior Theory   August 7, 2008
Known at our school as the "purple book," Glanz/Rimer 3e remains the go-to introduction to theories and models in health behavior and health education. Many of the entries are by leading practitioners, researchers, and theorists in the field. Unless you have read through and studied this book, you simply are not educated in this topic.

5 out of 5 stars Health Behavior & Health Education, a good buy   September 30, 2007
Good book for a class on Health Behavior and Health Education Theories. Good for graduate level work. Theories broken into chapters. Each chapter has the theory history, significant time line for the theory, chart and descriptions of the constructs, and examples where research has used the theory effectively. Examples in book make use of the theory more understandable.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference Book   August 27, 2007
I purchased this book to use as a reference for a Graduate Project on Health Promotion. I was particularly interested in Planning Models so most of my research focused on Part 5 in the book
Excellent Book-I highly recommend it
