Publisher Synopsis
..an extensive and ambitious textbook with the broad aim of covering all aspects of nutrition. This is a book with tremendous breadth and gives a discursive treatment to the subject area, which is often lacking in similar nutritional texts. As such, it succeeds in 'bringing the subject to life.'Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics.This is a high quality, well researched and structured text and the author writes in such a way as to make complex nutritional concepts easily accessible to students with a limited knowledge of science. This book should be available to pre- and post- qualifying nursing students undertaking nutritional and health educational components of a course. It is also likely to be of great value as a reference text to primary care practitioners who are involved in advising patients or clients on aspects of nutrition.Nurse Education Today Read more...
