Human Nutrition and Dietetics

by W.P.T. James

"This classic textbook covers the principles and practice of human nutrition and dietetics. Now thoroughly updated and revised in its tenth edition, the book describes: the physiology of nutrition, foods and their composition, dietary requirements in health, and nutritional management of disease." "Written by internationally renowned and authoritative contributors, each topic has boxed summaries after every chapter, clinical implications summaries where necessary, the most current and up-to-date research reviewed, and improved illustrations to support the text." "This is the key textbook for all students of nutrition and dietetics. Building on its foundations of theory and principles, the book's additional clinical emphasis also makes it a core reference for qualified dieticians and health care professionals."--BOOK JACKET.
