Recensione:

Review from previous edition This book fills an important gap...ideal for the busy practitioner or scholar of other disciplines who is eager to learn more about nutrition but hasn't the time to do a lot of reading. Quick, concise and accurate information...highly recommended. (European Journal of Clinical Nutrition)

...730 pages worthy of a place in the clinician's library of practical information. It enunciates the principles and contemporary science on which clinical (and, in large measure, public health) nutrition should be based. (Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition)

it is well structured...[and] any health professional working in the area of nutrition would find it a useful quick reference. (British Journal of Hospital Medicine)
