"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.
