Críticas
This study is an excellent example of Academic Press's tradition of providing comprehensive information [...] a valuable resource for all medical and university libraries. --Library Journal, April 15, 2000 The Encyclopedia of Human Nutrition is a superb attempt to incorporate into one three-volume [set] the many elements of the rapidly expanding science of nutrition. The [set] is timely, given the increased interest in diet and health by the general public worldwide. It is broad based and covers the physiological aspects of nutrient and energy requirements of different populations; measurements of dietary intake and nutritional status; the nutrient composition of the main food groups; associations between diet, lifestyle, and disease; clinical applications of nutrition to improve health; topical issues relating to the food-processing industry; influences affecting food choice and eating behavior; nutritional guidelines and public health policies in both developed and developing countries; international aspects of food labeling; and a range of other, related topics. Any encyclopedia must be international in its content. Appropriately, this [set] has an international editorial board and an international set of authors. The cross-referencing in the table of contents is excellent and helps one find a particular subject easily. Each volume ends with a comprehensive set of tables and charts. The index is excellent and user-friendly in terms of helping the reader find tables, discussions of major topics, and cross references. The format of the index should serve as a template for other comprehensive [works]. In general, the coverage of most of the topics in nutrition, ranging from molecular biology to agriculture and food science and from social sciences in human behavior to clinical medicine, is excellent. The Encyclopedia of Human Nutrition is a superb attempt to produce a comprehensive [work] on human nutrition and should be in the library of every physician and nonphysician interested in the subject --Arnold G. Coran, M.D., in THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE A welcome addition to the growing body of reference information about nutrition, this encyclopedia provides comprehensive, but not overly technical coverage of a diverse and complex discipline. Its broad coverage will appeal to a large audience, including clinicians and other medical practitioners, food processors and, those involved with health policy issues, teachers and students of nutrition, and general readers. Entries are topical and arranged alphabetically, with broader topics requiring several articles. Each volume includes a list of contributors and a complete table of contents for the set. There are 'see' references (e.g. 'AIDS see HIV disease'), cross-references, suggestions for further reading at the end of each article, color plates, and a detailed index. The inspiration for the encyclopedia came from the success of the well-received Encyclopedia of Food Science, Food Technology and Nutrition, ed. by R. Macrae, but this new work is very different, encompassing many changes in nutritional science since the early 1990s. Pertinent sections from the earlier work have been revised, updated, and rewritten for the newer title. Essential for all libraries. --CHOICE The current staus of human nutrition is clearly summarized in this three-volume set. The editorial board and the contributors are highly respected academics and practicing nutritionists from around the world. Topic coverage is extensive ranging from nutrition policies in developing countries to pregnancy and steatorrhea. The intended readership is students, researchers, physicians, social workers, and nutritionists, but the writing is such that the work is accessible to the lay reader. An added feature is a Web-accessible electronic version available to libraries at a minimal yearly fee. Recommended for medical, university, and large college and public libraries. --LIBRARY JOURNAL The Encyclopedia is a wonderful resource. I am aware of no other resource that spans such a wide area of nutrition--macronutrients, micronutrients, nutrient requirements through the lifecycle, clinical nutrition, food science, community nutrition, nutritional standards, and specific topics in biochemistry and physiology. I would certainly not hesitate to recommend this Encyclopedia as an excellent resource for any educational environment. --Dr. Kathryn Silliman, CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, CHICO This encyclopedia is a three-volume set containing vast amounts of nutrition information for the professional and lay person. The topics are easy to locate, and well organized. Locating specific topics is simplified since there is a complet Table of Contents in the front of each of the volumes. The index is very complete and detailed. --Journal of Nutrition for the Elderly, Vol. 19, No. 2, 1999 A major achievement condensing current authoritative reviews on all aspects of nutrition and clinical nutrition. It is an excellent starting point for anyone initiating a research project in nutrition and is well indexed. --BMA Medical Book Competition
