An Invitation to Health 2009-2010

Delivering the most current and thorough coverage available, market-leading AN INVITATION TO HEALTH, 2009-2010 International Edition, integrates a comprehensive presentation of health concepts--body, mind, and spirit--with a wealth of practical ways to put concepts into action. The tightly integrated text and package provide an outstanding set of resources for both students and instructors to accomplish key goals of the course: understand the need for behavior change and master the tools to accomplish change. Offering the most complete emphasis on behavior change, the text supports behavior change through practical content and applications such as "Learn It/Live It," "Goal Setting," "Your Strategies for Change," "Your Strategies for Prevention," and "Your Life Change Coach" sections. Because an important component of changing for lifelong healthy living is personal choice, the text also includes two new features designed to encourage critical thinking and analysis: "Reality Check" and "Point/CounterPoint." The most student-oriented text on the market, AN INVITATION TO HEALTH, 2009-2010 International Edition, is packed with relevant examples, colorful photos, figures, and new research and statistics. Updated "Student Snapshots," art, tables, and references in the new edition reflect the most current thinking on every topic. The text also includes a wealth of powerful instructor resources and learning tools through the Power Lecture CD-ROM and CengageNOW™.
