Nutritional Sciences: From Fundamentals to Food

by Michelle McGuire

NUTRITIONAL SCIENCES: FROM FUNDAMENTALS TO FOOD presents the basics of nutrition with unique coverage of the fundamental science underlying it, including its foundation in anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry. It is organized and written in a clear narrative style, with a linear format that builds concepts, engages students, and promotes a more thorough understanding. It is comprehensive in its coverage, including the most current information, and also unique in its brevity, making it easier to cover the material in a semester or quarter's time. From its emphasis on the fundamental science to the impressive integrated visual and media, relevant and supportive pedagogical features, and extensive supplemental resources (i.e. Diet Analysis+ 8.0, PowerPoint?, and JoinIn? on TurningPoint?), this text is a fresh presentation of nutrition concepts that instructors and students will praise.

This is an exceptional, well written book that I am proud to have on my book shelf. The material is charted extensively from everything including DRI's to BMI’s and instructional information in every scope imaginable. It includes step by step training for a complete and full-understanding of the material with charts and graphs that are easy to read. As I study holistic nutrition, this is a learning tool that I will reference back to again and again.

Not bad for a textbook/reference. There are some egregious errors, though, e.g. the structure of ATP. Otherwise, it has a good layout and clear text (most of the time.)
