"It is hard to find a textbook that gives a better basis forthe understanding of Human metabolism and nutrition, that is sowell designed and actually quite fun to read as this one. This bookis my first choice for a textbook for my medical students and fornursing school too. It is well suited for any kind of studies ofmetabolism at a higher level because of its ease at explaining thebasics and the frameworks needed for the understanding ofmetabolism. It is the first book I give to my doctorial studentswhen they need to freshen up their knowledge and the basics inmetabolism when starting research in clinical nutrition andmetabolism...if anyone is looking for the most interesting and funbook to read as an in depth introduction to human metabolism andnutrition, this is it!"
