A "must have" for Nutrition Graduate Students May 12, 2000
21 out of 23 found this review helpful
This book is the most comprehensive and up-to-date textbook on nutrition available! The 9th edition has 115 (one hundred fifteen) chapters and multiple sections of an Appendix, updated by 169 authors in 10 countries and from many scientific disciplines. Nutrition science has an extremely broad scope with relevance to all basic and applied biologic sciences, medicine, dentistry, dietetics, nursing, pharmacy, public health and public policy. In one very thorough edition (approx 2,000 pages), this text succeeds at integrating Nutrition science into practical knowledge. For around $100, the price equals 20 cents per page ... making it an extraordinary value! ENJOY :)
Must-Have Nutrition Text! July 18, 1999
26 out of 27 found this review helpful
This is one of the most comprehensive and valuable textbooks in the field of nutrition, covering major topics in basic and clinical nutrition. The 9th edition combines the two 8th edition volumes and includes new chapters. Topics covered in new chapters include alternative nutrition therapies, vegetarian diets, regulating food and dietary intakes and food labeling and dietary supplement legislation. I recommend this text for anyone in the field of nutrition and it is especially essential for anyone in a graduate nutrition program. If you are to buy one nutrition text, this should be it!
