very pleased January 8, 2008
Arrived on time in great condition (older edition, but couldn't find any wear!) Almost identical to 10th Edition so worked perfectly for my health class. Great low price. Thanks!

This book covers everything you need to know to pass the Dantes Health exam. It's well worth its cost, if you want/need a high passing score.
Thumbs Up for Access to Health February 16, 2003

I just completed a health class and this was the textbook we used. I learned so much from using this book. This book is precise and to the point. It provides you with colorful pictures, charts, and definitions that's superb. It provides great information on Weight Management, Cancer, Heart Disease, Illicit Drugs, and Alchohol. No health class should go with out this book. This is defintely a great teaching tool for those that are taking a health class, or simply a great reference guide. I give this book five stars.
Excellent! June 18, 2000

The 1999 Edition of Access to Health by Donatelle and Davis is excellent! User friendly writing style, colors, charts, references, and a comprehensive collection of chapters that cover all the key personal health related topics. From human sexuality to societal violence, the text covers all the bases. The authors have worked hard to bring this Edition up to date with the most current health research references/topics. I strongly recommend considering adoption for any introductory personal health course.
