Review # 1 was written on 2018-08-17 00:00:00 Patrick Silverthorne As a sociology student, this textbook made me cringe. Johnson gave the impression that he is utterly clueless regarding the social complexities of being 'healthy' and came across as totally insensitive. Like, he'd be the kind of dinner guest who gives unsolicited 'health' advice to all your guests, spouts fat-phobic rhetoric all night and then when you counter that the medical field has a deeply intrenched history of misogyny and paternalistic approaches to women's health, he wouldn't have a fucking clue what you were talking about (for example maybe women are statistically less likely to not seek medical attention for a heart attack because we've been told to look for symptoms that are actually more likely to occur in men and thus we aren't properly equipped to watch out for the appropriate symptoms of a heart attack. And this could be due to the medical profession historically solely studying and focusing on men's health??). Ugh. Note to author: I will happily teach you a thing or two about the social determinants of health, as you desperately need a lesson, bio-man. With that said, the body is fucking amazing!

Review # 2 was written on 2017-01-01 00:00:00 Matt Lawrence It's readable and does a good job of covering many different aspects of human physiology and relating them to both human health and current events. That said, it does an exceptionally poor job of articulating key concepts. My non-bio-major students (and I!) really struggled to identify general messages in each chapter, beyond the collection of specific biological facts. As a result, my students found it difficult to absorb everything over the course of the semester. In retrospect, I would have benefited from learning to use the electronic teaching resources. The supplemental videos weren't terribly useful, but using the quiz modules and getting automatic scores and reports could have been quite valuable. In particular it would have facilitated more frequent and narrowly-focused quizes, which my students felt would have kept them on-task without overwhelming them. But even more, I think my needs would have been better met by a more abstract textbook that (a) was bigger-picture and less detail-oriented and (b) emphasized more how students could investigate health topics as needed and apply that knowledge to real-world decisions (first-aid, behavior, insurance, policy).
