UNDERSTANDING NORMAL AND CLINICAL NUTRITION, Ninth Edition, provides the most current and comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals of nutrition and nutrition therapy for an introductory course. The early chapters focus on "normal" nutrition, including digestion and metabolism, vitamins and minerals, and life cycle nutrition. The later chapters cover "clinical" nutrition--the pathophysiology and nutrition therapy for a wide range of medical conditions. The text integrates practical information and valuable resources to help students apply nutrition knowledge and skills to their daily lives and the clinical setting. Features, such as case studies, "How To" boxes with real-world examples, and study cards, help students apply the material and build their conceptual understanding. Regardless of the students' background, the consistent level, approachable narrative, and careful explanations in UNDERSTANDING NORMAL AND CLINICAL NUTRITION will engage students and enable them to be actively involved in the field of nutrition.

I used the print version of the 8th edition for a class a couple years ago, but I didn't think I'd use it again and sold it. Now I'm taking a clinical nutrition course that uses the same textbook, so I decided to try out the Kindle version and save some money. I understand that there are differences in formatting between a print and Kindle version of a textbook, but the level of typos in this text are awful. It couldn't possibly have been proofread before publishing. Some of the essential formulas for calculating nutritional needs are indecipherable because symbols like = and * have been somehown exchanged for 5's and other numbers. I've even noticed that entire segments are missing from the text. I hope they are only small segments, because I'll be really angry if it comes time to take the exams and they ask questions about information that was omitted from my Kindle textbook. My advice is to wait for publishers to work out the kinks in this, spend a little extra money on the print version, and sell the book back to Amazon when the course is over.

This book is required reading but will also serve as a reference book throughout my career. VERY satisfied--just which it wasn't so heavy.
