4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty darn good, September 28, 2005

This review is from: Nutrition and Diet Therapy (Paperback)

Though the book is truly outdated by now, last copyright 1997, it was fairly well done. There are website links at the end of each chapter and useful info tidbits throughout. It is a complete basic information guide to Nutrition: the basics plus nutrition for disease states. I believe it being outdated is why there was not more discussion in the basic chapters about overconsumption of proteins like we're seeing with Adkins. It definitely needs a NEW edition with more discussion of what's going on in Nutrition today, problems etc. And a modernization of the pictures and text itself would really make it stand out. And, I would put links throughout the text, not just at the end of the chapter. This could really be a fun book if they got someone who knew how to change it right. I think it could be a best seller for Nutrition textbooks.

All the charts were really good, but I think some details were left out, so.. a little more explanation, explicitness, and maybe combine some of the calculation charts and more of how to use them. The more I write needs of improvement, the more I wonder if my pretty darn good rating is accurate.

This is a comprehensive nutrition textbook, easy to read with well written and highlighted information for the student to learn. This textbook complements the first course material included within the text to help the student reinforce prior teaching.

I purchased this textbook for my nursing nutrition course, and it is by far my best book. It is so easy to read and understand, and it provides tons of information that are not only relevant to persons in healthcare, but to lay persons as well. I can literally read this book like a novel.
