Review:

Starred review: "[I]nvaluable as a health-education reference for topics commonly taught in middle and high school. … The text in all volumes is extremely readable for the intended audience—clear and concise and not overloaded with technical jargon. … Comprehensive in coverage, they are highly recommended for middle- and high-school collections, as well as for the young adult section of public libraries frequented by students."
