Customer Reviews

Not my favorite

I have used Thiftbooks many times in the past and I haven't had a problem, the condition is pretty decent. I brought acceptable books in the past and they appeared to be pretty good. This time it was barely acceptable; I opened the package to dry boogers, food crumbs, ripped pages, and so many highlights, and pen marks that it made the book slightly difficult to read. I'm struggling to justify the price of this used book as it was over 30 dollars.

The "Ne Plus Ultra" for Learning About Health Behavior Theory

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.

excellent book

This was a good deal and I saved $30. it was new and exactly as described. thanks.

Health Behavior & Health Education, a good buy

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.

Excellent Reference Book

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 Judy W.

very useful book

This book is very useful to anyone involved in the public health field for research or developing interventions to address any health behavior with any group. I'm glad I purchased it. I highly recommend it as a valuable resource.
