I recently used this book for class and found it so easy to use, straight forward and accurate. The version I received also had an accompanying CD which may or may not come with this version from Amazon.
This book covers the basics from the different types of nutrients to in depth details of vitamins, minerals, weight loss, child nutrition, and exercise.

Be sure that your professor wants the 7th edition, otherwise buy the one they are requesting. My professor was working off of the 6th edition and said that the 7th was fine but it is not! They moved some things around so you are working on different page numbers and there is not alcohol section in this book like there is in the 6th edition.

Other than that, I love this book and it is one of the few that I am not reselling. Good for a student, or anyone trying to learn more about nutrition and becoming healthy, active and a proper weight.

This book is specifically an introduction to nutrition concepts text. While I understand it is an introduction, I still felt that concepts were far too simplified. I felt as though I were reading an 8th grade health book, rather than a college level introductory text. I also felt that some of the writing felt opinionated, not necessarily any concepts that I disagree with, but the book just doesn't seem to provide enough sources to prove points beyond opinion.
A bit disappointing, I am hoping to find a better nutrition book. I welcome any suggestions.

I am using this book in my undergrad college course. It is great. I find it way more helpful than the professor's presentations when it comes to my exams. She is using it more for a reference than teaching from it, but it is most definitely worth the $$ and much cheaper here than buying through the college book store where it was $40 more expensive. Great buy for anyone interested in learning about nutrition.

I ordered this book for one of my classes under the impression that it was the eight edition when in fact it is the seventh. However, I was still able to use the book to some extent. This company usually doesn't make mistakes. Whenever I buy books from amazon I generally try to find ones sold by this company. The shipping is always fast. They always estimate arrival of the item for like 2 weeks away or more but I usually receive within 48 hours, but no more than 72 depending on the day of the week I order. Overall, I am pleased. Getting the wrong book was a combination of the seller not listing the edition and me not really knowing what I was looking for. Next time I will pay closer attention to the details.

What a fantastic experience I ordered this book on Sunday 6/20 and it arrived in the mail on Wednesday 6/23. I wasn't expecting it until next week. Will definately watch this seller if I need another book. FAST AND HASSLE-FREE!!!!!

THANK-YOU

I am very pleased with the service and product. The book was in good condition at a great price, and arrived in a couple of days after placing order. Shopping Amazon has been the best way for me to purchase school books at a great price.

Used with for a class. Well written and great teaching tool. However, by now many statistics will be outdated.

Still, it is a good book for info on what foods to eat to intake specific vitamins, and other great nutritional information.

I am so glad they sent the book so quickly & it is in very good shape!

Great book. I needed it for an undergrad class, here it's about $40 cheaper than the campus bookstore. The only downside is that it does not come with the Nutricalc CD that the more expensive one does, but even when I purchased the program separately it was cheaper. I recommend this book.

Received Contemporary Nutrition in a timely manner and in the shape it was described. Good experience. Janice
