Williams' Basic Nutrition & Diet Therapy

by Staci Nix

New author Staci Nix brings this market-leading textbook a fresh perspective and a wider scope. Nix keeps the appealing style and content of earlier editions but brings in new ideas ― plus a healthy portion of practical insight gained from years of clinical experience. The book follows a logical organization, presenting basic concepts in Part 1, applying that content to specific demographic groups in Part 2, exploring the more specific roles of community nutrition and health promotion in Part 3, and finally focusing on nutrition as related to selected disease processes in Part 4.

This is an excellent resource for anyone going into an allied health field. I'll continue to use it as a reference for years to come. If you haven't taken one of Staci's classes (especially Nutrition Intervention, the one she wrote it for), you may not find it as valuable.
