Purchase options and add-ons

Food is one of the basic necessities of life, yet nutrition has only relatively recently been recognised as one of the most important determinants of individual and public health. A full understanding of this multi-faceted subject area requires an integrated approach, from molecular to societal level. Essentials of Human Nutrition provides a complete and student-friendly introduction to the field making it an ideal companion for students throughout their study of nutrition. Written by an international team of experts, every chapter is carefully edited to give consistently clear and coherent explanations of all of the essential principles of nutrition. The physiological and biochemical processes involved in nourishment are discussed first, before the text moves on to consider the different effects of diet and changing nutritional requirements at different life stages. The book concludes by illustrating how nutritional principles are applied in different practical contexts, from sports nutrition to food in hospitals. Online Resource Centre: Student Resources: Forest plot: forest plot discussed in Chapter 24 'Nutrition and Cancer', showing the results of a meta-analysis of observational studies of the relationship between waist circumference and postmenopausal breast cancer. Topical updates: periodic updates from the editors on the debate surrounding topical subjects. Weblinks: useful weblinks to journal articles cited in the book. Lecturer Resources: Figures from the book: available to download for use in lectures.

Exactly as described, or better. Took awhile to arrive from UK (I live in California). But it was worth the wait, especially at the listed price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book but be careful if using the Android Kindle app
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 June 2014

I returned this book within minutes of purchase because it is suppled in a new 'enhanced' format. The new format has some reasonable features but sever limitations. It is effectively a PDF type view but the Kindle viewer has very poor functionality compared to say, Moon+ Reader pro. You cannot select a text reflow format or change the background colour for ease of reading. It is also incompatible with my phone (so I could not download it on that device)
My rating is based on the book, which I subsequently bought in paperback. I've only read a couple of chapters but it is exactly what I was looking for. I have the 2nd edition and the updates effecively make it a new book. I will add a review against the paperback when I have read it. In the meantime just to provide a balance of considerations, the paperback weighs 1.54 kg, so not very convenient for carrying around.
Very pleased as usual with Amazon's support with instant phone service to return and refund the Kindle version.
