The book is pretty good. It gives you an informative insight on the aging process.By Love Amazon
I am so dissappointed in Elsevier. Their website does not support this book in ways that really helps the students. The online questions relate to the text, however, the exam is totally the opposite. Not enough resources are provided for such a marvelous text. The case studies are pretty good; but your critical thinking questions are horrible. I am not finding good resourses with this text on Elsevier/evolve. The authors of the text bring it home with the aging process and the explanations on the aging process. They need to incorporate better resources with evolve because right now; evolve is useless for any kind of resources in regards to this textbook. Your online animations relate more to the Health Assessment textbook rather than the healthy aging. More research is needed for gracefully aging populations, and Elsevier/Evolve really need some improvements with their online resource services related to this text. The text gets 4 stars, Elsevier/Evolve gets 1 star.
There are several errors the editors failed to correct in this book. There is a list of the top 5 countries with the longest life expectancy. Hong Kong is listed twice with different life expectancies. Some entire sentences are repeated. With these errors, one is left wondering what information is correct.By KR
