Human Nutrition continues to be the "go-to" text for all students specialising in nutrition and dietetics, whilst remaining accessible to those from other health and science disciplines. The book covers everything from molecular and cellular aspects of nutrient metabolism, its application to clinical nutrition right through to population and global nutrition, and the 14th Edition has been revised with greater attention to nutrition assessment. No bookshelf on nutrition should be without it. * Professor Kevin Whelan, King's College London *
