5.0 out of 5 stars
Superbly Written Student-friendly book on Nutrition!,
This review is from: Discovering Nutrition, Third Edition (Paperback)
This really is one of the most superbly-written books on nutrition I have ever read! And believe me I have a lot of books on Nutrition. If you want to understand nutrition, especially the science of nutrition, as well as its practical application, this is the book for you. Written in an extremely student-friendly way, the authors of this book really do take difficult biochemical concepts and present them in terms and graphics that are very easy to understand, even for someone who has no science background or has not taken a course in Anatomy and Physiology.
One of the authors was recognized with a National award for Excellence in College and University teaching in the Food and Agricultural Sciences by the USDA, and another author has special expertise in communicating complicated physiological processes with easily understood graphical presentations. While I have a more holistic approach to nutrition than authors of this book and do not necessarily agree with some of the statements made in the book about the safety of GM foods or no need for dietary supplements, this does not detract one bit from my opinion of the the overall excellence of this nutrition textbook. if someone wants to really learn about the science of nutrition and is looking for a student-friendly book that is easy to understand, and/or is struggling to understand the science concepts in other nutrition texts, look no further. This is the nutrition book for you!

Beautiful book, well written and great illustrations. I purchased it as a text book for a class I am taking. The condition was perfect and the shipping was quick. I am sure it is a book I will have forever and use as a reference for my clients in my personal training business.

This review is from: Nutrition (Hardcover)
Ordered my the Nutrition 4th Edition Friday 2nd, today is Wednesday 7th. I just finished opening the package now. The book is new, bindings and pages are crisp when you flip through. The edge to my book is bashed, I'm not stoked about that. Purchased through RepTextbooks. For 40$ off the price I would have paid with a coupon code through my course, I am pleased. Just sucks that a updated version of the text book will drop in a month. By then I'll be finished with my class(hopefully). This is the book I wanted since I'm doing a only study with an e-book. I purchased the book to have a hardcover in my hand to read and reference. The access code works.
