Great BOOK!.......2007-01-10
This is a great book for anyone looking to do well in Health classes or someone who just wants to work on their nutrition. Its great because there are all kinds of statistics on body mass index, nutiritonal values and even includes the new food pyramid. It was amazing and I really learned more than I thought I would.

Book Description
Consumer health websites have garnered considerable media attention, but only begin to scratch the surface of the more pervasive transformations the Internet could bring to health and health care. Networking Health examines ways in which the Internet may become a routine part of health care delivery and payment, public health, health education, and biomedical research. Building upon a series of site visits, this book: weighs the role of the Internet versus private networks in uses ranging from the transfer of medical images to providing video-based medical consultations at a distance; reviews technical challenges in the areas of quality of service, security, reliability, and access, and looks at the potential utility of the next generation of online technologies; discusses ways health care organizations can use the Internet to support their strategic interests and explores barriers to a broader deployment of the Internet; recommends steps that private and public sector entities can take to enhance the capabilities of the Internet for health purposes and to prepare health care organizations to adopt new Internet-based applications.
Book Description
The most comprehensive text in Consumer Health, this edition continues to provide a vast amount of information to enable consumers to choose health products and services intelligently. New texts now come packaged with Health and Human Performance PowerWeb!
Customer Reviews:
Barrett is a must-read!.......2006-09-11
The above review is silly--it's like saying I bought a computer book from 5 years ago and it's out-of-date. Duh.
Anything by Barrett is a must-read, because he exposes core truths about health quackery and frauds.
BEWARE:Textbook contains dated information.......2005-05-23
I have been using this textbook for four semesters with undergraduates obtaining a minor in health education and am frustrated with the information that is outdated and full of errors. I will no longer be using the text in my courses. The food pyramid is wrong, exercise theories are incorrect, etc. My exercise science majors this past semester were disgusted with the mistakes.

Book Description
The World Wide Web is playing an important and rapidly growing role in peoples faith bringing together believers from all parts of the world. Today's church is no longer defined by location and the search for answers has grown past the traditional. Real questions taken from actual raw unedited letters written by people from all over the world hurting and in need. Actual letter from the book: "What is he saying? I know he must have misinterpreted these verses because my Jesus didn't kill anyone! right? i feel soo bad because i feel like im doubting Him and that this would probably hurt His feelings but i don't I don't have an answer... Something has happened to me that has never happened before. After i read this i didn't have anything to say in response. I know this is wrong. it has to be. Jesus wouldn't kill anyone. but I am also confused as to how two religions that are so different (Christianity and Islam) can be the leading religions in the world but which is right? im going to stay Christian but how do we know for sure that we are doing everything the way we are supposed to be doing it? (i know what your gonna say, "read the bible") but its not that simple. I pray, but what if all along we are praying to no one praying to a God our ancestors made up? How do we know for sure? Well there's that feeling I get sometimes when i pray but I just don't know. I don't want to be a bad, doubting, unbelieving Christian because i still prayed last night and talked to Jesus even though I was thinking this I still love Him more than words can express but im just so curious. I need answers..." Finally support to help meet the needs of those hurting and searching for answers...

Que's
Great Age Guides celebrate the vital role and lifestyle of today's young, active 50+ adults. Most well-known "middle-aged" people of sixty-five or seventy would have you believe that Great Age is so wonderful that all the years leading up to it are a waste of time! People in this great age are transforming retirement's traditional laid-back "golden years" in pure platinum. Great Ager's break retirement tradition by working well past typical retirement age, not only by need, but also by the desire to remain productive members of society.
The Great Age Guide to Online Health and Wellness is written specifically for those adults 50+ living with and using their computers and the Internet to help take better care of themselves. You'll get information on such things as living wills, the pros and cons to buying drugs outside the country, nutrition, supplements and vitamins, drug interactions, evaluating medical Web sites, finding support groups and more.
