Featuring new Focus Figures to clarify challenging concepts, it includes pre-quizzes, chapter objectives, math examples, and case studies to enhance comprehension. Ideal for students and professionals seeking a deep, applied understanding of nutrition science. ## Description The Science of Nutrition, Third Edition is uniquely organized using an applied approach, which organizes vitamins and minerals based on their functions and effects on the body. This applied approach is most evident in the functional organization of the micronutrient (vitamin and mineral) chapters. Rather than requiring you to memorize all the vitamins and minerals and their characteristics, the authors present them based on their functions (like fluid and electrolyte balance, antioxidant function, bone health, energy metabolism, and blood and immunity health), so that you can understand their effects on the body. The Third Edition of the book adds New Focus Figure spreads that concentrate on the toughest topics to learn and understand. Review: Well laid out. Very detailed. - I unwisely decided to take a semester-in-a-month class. Which means I'm having to read and digest (ha ha) this textbook at the speed of light. The good news is, this textbook is extremely well laid out. The text gives you a short 5-question pre-quiz before you start a chapter, to test how much you THINK you know about nutrition. Then it gives you some chapter objectives and tells you where those objectives are covered in the text. The textbook is extremely packed with information and is not light reading. But they break the chapters down into headings and subheadings, and recap every section in a clear and easy to understand way. The chapters are followed by math examples to help you calculate nutrition needs, a review summary and additional test questions and case profiles. There are a lot of graphics and charts inside that also help you to understand the material. But don't think you can read the summaries and skate by with the text. At least not if you're new to the sciences and nutrition. In addition to digestion basics (which are extremely complex) they cover a lot of ancillary areas, such as diseases affecting the GI tract and those diseases that are contributed to by poor nutrition. I rented the textbook but think I will buy because I think it will be a helpful resource down the road as well since I have at least 2 more nutrition courses I'm required to take. Not light reading by any stretch, but a rock-solid text. Review: Great condition - It was the exact book I needed for my class in great condition. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,712,662 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9,138 in Nutrition (Books) #182,537 in Textbooks (Special Features Stores) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 107 Reviews | ## Images ![The Science of Nutrition (3rd Edition) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91obf4uB7VL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well laid out.
