Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This text presents current information about infectious and non-infectious diseases and their histories, from a nonclinical point of view; it is written to support the needs of health education students and professionals, rather than clinicians. Including an overview of the principles of disease occurrence and of the body's defenses, it provides key details and stimulating information regarding the body's vulnerability to disease.

Book News Annotation:

Aimed at students who will become health educators in schools, corporations, or community agencies, this textbook covers the fundamentals of disease identification, prevention, and control. Infectious diseases are grouped by disease agent, rather than body system. For the third edition, a new Internet Resources section has been added to the end of every chapter. It is assumed that readers have already completed a course in anatomy and physiology. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
