   As far as Health Behavior goes, I'm sure this book was great. There were some chapters that the authors automatically seemed to assume that you had read the books that they were referencing as they explained the different theories. That wasn't the case in my opinion and some of the theories were confusing because of it. I'm glad that there's a newer version of the textbook and would actually be interested in comparing the differences between the two, but yeah this book wasn't too bad as far as t As far as Health Behavior goes, I'm sure this book was great.

   A quote from this book... " Thus the readers of this book should 'pass with relief from the tossing sea of Cause and Theory to the firm ground of Result and Fact' (Churchill, 1898). As the ocean meets the shore, so we hope you will find that theory, research, and practice in health promotion and education stretch out to converge in a single landscape" ridiculous attempts at making a book about theory sound like 18th century poetry aside, it's a good overview of various models and theories of hea A quote from this book...

   Some of the chapters were were terribly written, others were well read. All in all, this book is a mixed bag, but there is a lot of useful information.

   Well, it was for school so... it was no pleasure read. But I thought it did a great job of explaining the different theories, constructs etc. with realistic and helpful examples.

   I used this for an undergraduate Community and Behavioral health class this summer. It is very well laid out and easy to follow. The format lead to a clear understanding of how to choose, implement and evaluate community health interventions.

   Research is dated, but overall provides a good starting point for finding current research on the topic.
