September 26, 2007: An exceptional book that tries to cover the breadth of health education theory. But read only a little bit at a time to properly soak it in, just a theory at a time. Could use some more examples from the real world but is a very comprehensive first step to understanding the different theories and constructs used in the field of health education and other social sciences. It is basically a good platform, reference guide to understanding the main theories involved in health education, however other books would be more worthwhile if your interest lies in specific theories.

June 16, 2004: With the exception of my calculus text book in undergrad I think this is by far the most, boring, dry, pendantic, lengthy, and ugly waste of innocent trees. Thank God the bookstore will buy books back.
