Nutrition by Simon Langley-Evans
Traditionally, nutrition textbooks have divided human nutrition into basic science, public health and clinical nutrition, however in this exciting new textbook, Professor Simon Langley-Evans spans these divisions, bringing together the full range of disciplines into one accessible book through the lifespan approach.
Overall, Nutrition: a Lifespan Approach is a useful resource, particularly to undergraduate and postgraduate students studying a degree in dietetics/nutritional sciences or those undergoing courses in public health or clinical nutritionIt provides the reader with a good balance of knowledge in areas such as obesity and different disease states such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and various cancers. This book is very 'reader friendly', with summary boxes at the end of each chapter and self-assessment questions on the content of each chapter. It also provides the reader with more advanced nutritional knowledge in the 'highlight' boxes, which give a greater insight into that particular topic. This textbook is 'a must' for students wishing to practice nutrition either in a health promotion or clinical setting. (Nutrition Bulletin, March 2010)
