Essentials of Human Nutrition by Jim Mann

Nutrition is pivotal to every aspect of human health. In physical and mental development and from conception to death, good nutrition ensures optimum human performance in all areas of life. The consequences of poor nutrition are clearly seen in developed and developing countries alike, in the types of illness that prevail and the most common causes of premature death. Essentials of Human Nutrition has already established itself as the most reliable and accessible textbook for students embarking on courses in human nutrition. It has been adopted as a course textbook in several countries and has proven to be an invaluable reference work for medical students, doctors and other health professionals requiring up-to-date, authoritative information on the role of nutrition in monitoring human health, in the causes and treatments of human illnesses and chronic disease prevention.

Other topics include: * Detailed analysis of all the major food groups * Disorders related to inappropriate food intake * Measuring nutrition * Exploration of changing needs through the life stages * Public health issues * Individual case studies From Review of Essentials of Human Nutrition 1/e "The breadth of coverage guarantees that there is somethign to be learned for even the most advanced student...the chapters provide interesting and informative reading."
