This book is well laid out, cites study after study and disputes the claims of many nutritional (Along with other) "experts" with hard studies. Offers a pretty good synopsis of popular workout supplements along with the pitfalls and benefits of taking them. Well worth the money and a read.

All Health professionals should have this text in their libarary as a source of reference. Because if everything looks like a nail your only option is a hammer, and that does not not benifit the client long-term. Art and Science is the true measure of one success in the application of cutting edge techniques that will address each individual personal needs.

Long story short, the "kindle version", as of when I purchased it, is not the actual textbook, it is only a study guide. Since they don't seem to have the actual textbook for kindle, this will do you no good unless you already have the hardcover copy of the text. The study guide is essentially a long list of test questions and exercises to help you study, but actually offers no real information.

Very disappointing...
The book clearly states that it has a companion CD enclosed with it!
I've never got the CD even though I sent the book back and got a new book shopped with the same error

Second it's obvious that this book was made to be printed in colors (by the figures and diagrams shades)
Yet again this publisher decided to print it in Black & White for some reason (I'm sure you can think of few- maximize profit for ex.)

If the publisher wanted to minimize coasts it's fine!!! But why charge 87 US dollars for it?

Al in all- the publisher managed POOR SCORE!!!! (I used "managed" because as a customer I'm not very hard to please)
