Seller's Description:
Very good. "Edge wear on cover, no spine creases, clean text. "From Booklist\nThis dictionary covers the full spectrum of teen body and health concerns in a straightforward, nonjudgmental manner. Though it is written for the teenager, families with preteens will also appreciate this book for its thorough coverage, with quick information on a variety of topics such as cysts, AIDS, testicular cancer, pregnancy, and Tanner stages (a system of measurements designed to track physical development). \n\nWritten by two adolescent-medicine experts (a physician and a nurse), the dictionary covers diseases and their therapies, guidelines for healthy living, and health concerns and issues. Black-and-white line drawings illustrate many entries. Few books written for teens are written so concisely and yet are so thorough when covering such items as sports injuries, what to expect in a physical exam, emotional disorders, and diagnostic techniques. Some may take offense at the birth control methods explained and illustrated (e.g., how to put on a condom), but this is handled in a professional manner. Excellent appendixes include hotlines, medications, street drugs, health-care specialists and what they treat, books for teens (all are recent publications), and an illustrated first aid manual. \n\nThe Watts Teen Health Dictionary is highly recommended for all high-school and public libraries and would make an excellent addition to a teenager's personal library. --This text refers to the \n\n\n\nLibrary Binding\nedition.
