Human Nutrition


Book Description

Human Nutrition: Science for Healthy Living is an interesting, engaging, reliable, and evidence-based introductory textbook with a wide variety of features to promote active learning. A clinical emphasis appeals to all, but is of particular relevance to those studying nutrition, dietetics, or health science professions, including nursing. Real-life and clinical examples, statistics, and evidence from professional sources address current and controversial topics and support the key concepts of the science of nutrition. Human Nutrition provides the framework for students to not just memorize facts, but to truly learn and apply the science of nutrition. The knowledge gained can be applied not only to a future profession, but, just as importantly, to everyday life. Our hope is that readers share the practical advice and key concepts learned in the textbook with family and friends to promote optimal health and wellness.

Nester's Microbiology


Book Description

"The three authors of this edition-Denise Anderson, Sarah Salm, and Deborah Allen-may be a set of individuals with different insights and unique experiences, but their cooperative relationship defines the word "team." What drives them is a single shared goal: to create the most learning-friendly introductory microbiology textbook available. Each author carefully read all the chapters, looking for parts that could be tweaked for clarity. They did this with students in mind, suggesting simpler words where appropriate while maintaining the scientific rigor so important for today's healthcare professionals. Meanwhile, Gene Nester continued to serve as "team member emeritus," keeping an eagle eye out for updates that could be incorporated into the text. His work established the text's reputation for excellence over the decades, and it lives on in this edition"--
