4.0 out of 5 stars I use this book extensively, Jan 9 2004
By 
M. B. Burdick "Bellydancer" (Blue Springs, MO USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Krause's Food, Nutrition and Diet Therapy (Hardcover)
This book is the required text of my dietetics coursework time and time again and thus I use it extensively. At first I resented the very large and heavy book, but more and more I find myself turning to it for answers, even for things that aren't school-related. My university has a book rental program. Previously I'd only rented the book, but now, as I sit inbetween semesters, I find myself missing it terribly. The moment the bookstore opens I will be buying this book for keeps.

I give it four stars because it's cumbersome and dry, although on the positive side you can point out it's cumbersome and dry because it's such an exhaustive and scientific coverage of the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, May 10 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Krause's Food, Nutrition and Diet Therapy (Hardcover)
Krause's Food, Nutrition and Diet Therapy (eds; Mahan and Escott-Stump)10th ed is 1000% user friendly! Each chapter starts off with a glossary of terms in the ensuing pages which levels the learning field. Colorful charts on practical information are generously sprinkled in every chapter with clear illustrations on anatomy, energy reactions, and algorithms. You'll find lots of "ah ha" moments are you go through this book like I did. An example was the increased metabolic rate by adding spice to a meal! And the reference was also right there!

Each author's excitment and passion for the topic covered comes through the pages loud and clear. Cleverly colored boxes of strategically placed information capture your eye and your mind! Another example.. in Chapter 6 on Water and Electrolytes.. the percentage loss of body water and degree of disability associated with the same could not be made any more obvious.. and you just don't forget the message.

This resource covers everything from herbal therapies and rationale to heart transplant and all points in between. Over 1150 pages to get the new Millennium off to a smart start! I already know this book will be among the most used in my professional library. It is highly recommended.
