Human Nutrition

Editat de Catherine Geissler, Hilary Powers
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 apr 2017
The field of human nutrition has expanded hugely in recent years, to now encompass topics as diverse as nutritional genomics and food security. As appreciation for the importance of nutrition to human health and well-being grows, an understanding of the many aspects of the subject has never been more important. Written by a renowned team of international experts, Human Nutrition provides an authoritative, comprehensive resource for students of human nutrition and other health sciences, and a valuable source of information for everybody working in nutrition and related fields. The text opens with an exploration of the chemical characteristics of foods and nutrients, before moving on to discuss the physiology of food nutrition, micronutrients, and dietary requirements for different sections of the population. The text concludes with an assessment of the evidence base for a link between nutrient intake and disease risk, and a review of the broad discipline of public health nutrition.Online Resource Centre:The Online Resource Centre to accompany Human Nutrition features:Student Resources: Auto-marked multiple choice questions to accompany each chapterCurated links to online sources of further information'In depth' panels: extended coverage of topics included in the bookLecturer Resources: Figures from the book: available to download for use in lectures

Recenzii

An essential introduction to the science of nutrition from all angles. Key points throughout provide a very nice aid to navigating and summarising information. Extensive reference lists are also very helpful. Having links to websites in addition to published literature and textbooks is a rare and welcome feature!
A really complete textbook; as a biochemistry student, I really enjoy that this book covers a lot of (the) metabolic processes that play a part in nutrition and even covers (the) histological and physiological aspects of nutrition. An excellent choice for an introduction to nutritional science.
If I were to pick a phrase to describe my first impressions, it would be that the book contains a "river of insights". The book does not hand-hold the reader, tackling some complex topics with the decisiveness and specificity that they require.
A good textbook should be a starting point; motivating the student and giving signpost on where to go next, and this is exactly what this book does. This book sparks and renews interest in nutritional science. I am glad I have this book on my bookshelf.
The book does not shy away from introducing and explaining relevant physiological topics (e.g. myofibril contraction theory) as a background for nutritional topics (exercise nutrition in this example). This makes it very valuable as a stand-alone text, particularly for students focused on nutrition without a general biological background.
I think it is probably one of the best single texts in terms of breadth and depth.
A good overview of all aspects of human nutrition.
