Diet and nutrition is an important parts of health-care, at times much more then medicine and treatment, and in the present-day extremely health-conscious society, an authoritative book on the subject is most welcome. Though this work by an expert is aimed at the student of Dietetics, it is equally useful for the general reader because it is neither very elementary nor painfully technical, maintaining a balance between the two. In it the basic dietetic information is suitable documented and the scientific as well as practical aspects are commendably integrated.
