Reading
The book for this class is Live and Be Well, by Richard F. Shepard and Vicki Gold Levi. It's in stock at SBX (Student Book Exchange) on High Street. The Ohio State Bookstore may also have new or used copies; please fee free to patronize the bookseller of your choice. Please let me—and the SBX staff—know if Live and Be Well is sold out or otherwise unavailable.
