This new edition offers a variety of essential knowledge for human nutrition.This book provides an up-to-date, comprehensive and detailed account of the nutrition in monitoring human health.I adopt as a textbook for classroom and reference use.

Definitely a must-have for those seeking higher learning in the field of nutrition. Covers in-depth individual topics on different vitamins and minerals as well as specific disease conditions.

This book is a must-have for anyone interested in furthering their knowledge of the biochemical nature of disease processes, & appropriate nutritional/medical interventions. Physiology/pathophysiology is clear & succinct, & covers diseases not often covered in other nutritional texts. Nice to see a US publication using SI rather than Empirical Units! The Appendices are one of the highlights of the book- not just a few tables, but a whole section- very useful & practical. One short-fall in this book is the lack of use of uniform imaging & coloured diagrams, and only 2 pages of colour plates (Part IIe, section 38)?!, which detracts slightly from their welcome abundance. In all, a prized addition to anyone's library who wishes to have a comprehensive resource at their fingertips.

Book quality- This is a well-bound, sturdy publication, with fine paper a necessity to hold over 2000pages of information. I was a little disappointed to find, on unwrapping the book, that it has a whelt (moisture or manufacture?) on the cover along with some scratches, and a few of the front pages were dog-eared. If customers are paying over $100 for a text, they expect better care of the book on your part!

I RECEIVED IT AND FOUND THE REAR COVER WAS BROKEN AND ASKED THEM TO SHIP ANOTHER ONE.

Excellent condition, as if I bought it directly from the university bookstore. Like new!

Simple: This is THE book to buy. It is well-written, well-formatted, easy to ready. There are no others that come close.

This is a good book for everyone concern about healthy life

I ordered this book based on it's description and image, assuming it would be the tenth edition. I have received the ninth edition and will be returning my purchase for exchange or refund.

Pretty much what I ordered. It came in a very timely manner, but the binding is in somewhat rough shape. It'll do.
