Clinical Nutrition focuses
solely on the sick and metabolically compromised patient. It
parallels the text on Nutrition & Metabolism in dealing with
clinical nutrition on a system by system basis making the
information more accessible to the student. Covering the scientific
basis underlying nutritional support, medical ethics and
nutritional counselling, the text ends with illustrative clinical
case histories.
As an academic subject,
nutrition has grown enormously in recent years and with it the need
for specialist textbooks on the subject. In response to this need,
a decision was taken by The Nutrition Society to produce a
ground-breaking series of four textbooks, of which Clinical
Nutrition is the final.
The books in
the series:
- Provide students with the
required scientific basis in nutrition, in the context of a systems
and health approach.
- Enable teachers and students
to explore the core principles of nutrition and to apply these
throughout their training to foster critical thinking at all times.
Each chapter identifies the key areas of knowledge that must be
understood and also the key points of critical thought that must
accompany the acquisition of this knowledge.
- Are fully peer reviewed to
ensure completeness and clarity of content, as well as to ensure
that each book takes a global perspective and is applicable for use
by nutritionists and on nutrition courses throughout the world.
Nutritionists, dieticians and
students in these fields will find this an important resource and
Libraries in universities, medical schools and establishments
teaching and researching in the area of nutrition will find
Clinical Nutrition a valuable addition to their shelves.
