Review: Great for majors - Public health knowledge like you would not believe! A must if you are looking to major in public health Review: Highly recommend! - I purchased the book in “good condition” and it was near perfect! Unfortunately, I had to return it due to the instructor changing to the newest edition the first week of class. The company reimbursed me with no issues. I will definitely use them in the future and highly recommend.

Excellent textbook, missed the online resource
This book was a great tool in my Global Health class. There's lots of tables and charts included, which not only break up the text nicely but provide a lot of useful information. The opening vignettes are really good as well, and help set the tone for the chapter. My favorite part about this textbook was the "Main Messages" section at the end of the chapters. The summary it provided was great and it proved to be a helpful study tool. The Pros: -easy to read -very informative -excellent, up-to-date statistics -summary section at the end of each chapter The Cons: -the online resource wasn't available when I took the class. I used the previous edition's online quizzes to study, but it certainly would have been ideal if the current online resource was available.

Limited Access
Actually I have just started reading but I want to know why I can't read this book on my Kindle or the Cloud reader. My only option is my phone. If I had known of the restriction I would not have purchased the book. Or am I just missing something?

Good quality and early delivery
Timely delivery. I am using this book as part of a course that I am taking. The book is a softcover, but it does not bother me too much.
