Good basic health education book. This book gives a good overview of the processes of behavior change, and principles that can be used over a variety of disciplines. Easy to read as well.

I bought this for school and even though it is used and a little bartered, it is a great resource. I'm learning a lot and like the case examples.

This book covers the bare basics of health promotion and education. It is mostly didactic and will not teach you real-world application.
