About this title

Synopsis

Book by Samuels, Mike, Samuels, Nancy

Reviews

Many Americans today realize that health in mid-adulthood comes as much through good habits as through medical conquests of disease. For these people, this book is a welcome guide, because it emphasizes both disease prevention and treatment. The first part discusses health promotion, through good habits including proper nutrition and sufficent exercise; the second deals with diseases and disorders and their prevention. The clear, timely, and informative text assumes some knowledge and motivation by the reader, but, within this context, it strikes the right balance between understandable language and thorough coverage. Recommended.
