Introduction to Human Nutrition

Introduction to Human Nutrition by Michael Gibney

As an academic subject, nutrition has grown enormously in recent years and with it the need for specialist textbooks on the subject. In response to this need, a decision was taken by The Nutrition Society to produce a ground-breaking series of four textbooks, of which "Introduction to Human Nutrition" is the first. The books in the series: provide students with the required scientific basics of nutrition in the context of a systems and health approach; enable teachers and students to explore the core principles of nutrition, to apply these throughout their training, and to foster critical thinking at all times. Throughout, key areas of knowledge are identified; are fully peer reviewed, to ensure completeness and clarity of content, as well as to ensure that each book takes a global perspective. "Introduction to Human Nutrition" is an essential purchase for students of nutrition and dietetics, and also for those students who major in other subjects that have a nutrition component, such as food science, medicine, pharmacy and nursing. Professionals in nutrition, dietetics, food science, medicine, health sciences and many related areas will also find much of great value within its covers.

'..this well-written textbook is an exciting introductory nutrition text to suit undergraduates on many degree and vocational courses. It provides good value for money and will be an essential resource for students new to the study of nutrition.' British Journal of Nutrition 'a powerful introductory human nutrition textbook that will also prove useful as an excellent reference text.' Nutrition Bulletin
