内容説明
Health on Demand and Health and Wellness for Life provide professors teaching general-ed health courses the option to customize their student textbooks to match their syllabi. With a custom Health on Demand text, your students pay for only the material you'll actually cover in class, plus you can match the text's content to the unique needs of your setting. The standard text, Health and Wellness for Life, offers a ready-made option for those looking for a textbook that covers all the essential personal health topics for the general student population.
Both options feature content developed by 15 veteran health educators and organized into a cohesive course text by Human Kinetics, a publisher with more than 30 years of experience in providing top-quality information resources to the fields of health and physical education and to the various kinesiology subdisciplines.
The standard text includes 16 chapters of the topics most often covered in a general-education health course. Or you can choose from a total of 23 chapters to ensure your text includes the material that is most important for your students. For those electing to customize a text, new chapters will be offered as they are developed to expand your options even further.
Student-friendly textbook features make reading and learning more enjoyable
Both the standard text Health and Wellness for Life and the customizable Health on Demand text include the following student-friendly features:
- A conversational tone used throughout the book makes it accessible and relevant for any student.
- Discussion and assessment questions, quizzes, surveys, hypothetical scenarios, and learning objectives add interest to the textbook and help students retain what they've learned.
- A look at the effect of gender and ethnicity on health issues makes learning more personal for each individual.
- Special focus on timely and controversial issues encourages students to think critically about media and advertising.
- Special elements on steps for behavioral change and the mind-body connection show students how to take action to address health issues to improve mental and physical health.
- A glossary of terms defines concepts presented in each chapter.
- Several application activities for each chapter engage students' critical-thinking skills.
- The online student resource provides additional information, links, and tools that expand on topics from the text.

The cover can be customized with a photo of tthe professor's choosing (such as a campus landmark or school mascot), or a school name or logo can appear on the cover. Professors can even create their own title for the textbook.
Complete ancillaries help instructors implement the course
