nutrition Has Become A Major Issue In Healthcare Owing To Changes In The Food Pyramid And The Rising Rate Of Obesity In The United States. This Four-volume Second Edition (the First Was Published In 1998 As Two Volumes) Has Been Revised To Reflect The Transformation Of Nutrition Into A Multidisciplinary Field That Is Affected By New Discoveries Like The Mapping Of The Human Genome. Editors Caballero (johns Hopkins), Lindsay Allen (univ. Of California, Davis), And Andrew Prentice (london Sch. Of Tropical Medicine, Uk), Who Have Published Extensively In Medical Journals, Oversee More Than 340 Contributors Of Nearly 300 Comprehensive Entries On Nutrition And Other Areas Like Age Groups, Diseases, Minerals, Vitamins, And Select Foods. The Encyclopedia's Well-organized Layout Includes A Table Of Contents (at The Beginning Of Each Volume), Impressive Illustrations, Tables, Color Photos, And Further Reading Lists (at The End Of Entries). Subsections Are Listed So Patrons Can Flip Through The Entry To Find Exactly What They Need. Bottom Line Owing To Its Heavy Use Of Medical Terminology, This Encyclopedia Is More Appropriate For Healthcare Professionals Than General Readers. Although It Is A Worthwhile Resource, Its Price Will Probably Bar It From Most Public Libraries, Which Should Look Instead To Facts On File's Less Costly The Encyclopedia Of Nutrition And Good Health. Recommended For Academic And Health Sciences Libraries.-rebecca Raszewski, Drexel Univ. Health Sciences Libs., Philadelphia Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
