Diet and nutrition is an important part of health-care, at times much more than medicine and treatment, and in the present-day extremely health-conscious society, an authoritative book on the subject is most welcome. Though this work by an expert is aimed at the student of Dietetics, it is equally useful for the general reader because it is neither very elementary nor painfully technical, maintaining a balance between the two. In it the basic Dietetic information is suitably documented and scientific as well as practical aspects are commendably integrated. Student and professionals of Home science, Dietetic, Nutrition, Nursing and Medical or Para-Medical courses, will find the book most useful; it covers all the diseases in quite some detail and food-planning needed in their treatment.
