- A new edition of an authoritative yet highly readable nutrition text
- Written by international experts in the field, providing a high calibre, global orientation to the subject
- Careful structure (40 chapters over 8 parts) provides robust coverage, both as a roadmap to an extended period of study, or for isolated modules of interest.
New to this edition - An expanded network of eminent writers, providing first class content
- Increased focus on public health aspects, including nutritional recommendations; implications for chronic disease; and nutritional crises.
- More figures and boxes enhance the text and reinforce key points
- Fresh colour design allows ease of reading and navigation
Essentials of Human Nutrition is the established starting point for those embarking on courses in nutrition and related fields. It has proven to be an invaluable textbook for students requiring a broad, quality survey of the subject.
This third edition has been updated amidst the increasingly buoyant recognition of the role of nutrition in health and disease status. Accordingly, the book charts the involvement and impact of nutrition across the lifespan and at community level, based on a sound foundation of nutritional science.
Coverage of topical subjects, such as functional foods, along with the spectre of chronic disease, and nutritional crises in the world, fuels study for assignments and essays.
Figures and tables have been compiled selectively to provide a digest of the practical data and processes, such as nutritional assessment and measurement, with which students need to be familiar.
Online Resource Centre:
Active web links to provide a gateway to the journal articles cited in the book
Editors forum, posting periodic updates on topical and important subjects
Readership: Health and food science students: nutrition, dietetics, food, medicine, dentistry and nursing.
Biological science students, particularly biochemistry.
Human performance science students: sports science, sports medicine and physical activity.

"Overall, this is a comprehensive but eminently readable book, which will provide an ideal companion for students of nutritional science and its affiliated healthcare disciplines. Its competitive price represents excellent value for money, further reason why I shall be recommending it highly to both my postgraduate and particularly my undergraduate students of nutrition and dietetics." - British Journal of Nutrition, 2008
