The Science of Nutrition (3rd Edition) [Thompson, Janice J., Manore, Melinda, Vaughan, Linda] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Science of Nutrition (3rd Edition) Review: Well laid out. Very detailed. - I unwisely decided to take a semester-in-a-month class. Which means I'm having to read and digest (ha ha) this textbook at the speed of light. The good news is, this textbook is extremely well laid out. The text gives you a short 5-question pre-quiz before you start a chapter, to test how much you THINK you know about nutrition. Then it gives you some chapter objectives and tells you where those objectives are covered in the text. The textbook is extremely packed with information and is not light reading. But they break the chapters down into headings and subheadings, and recap every section in a clear and easy to understand way. The chapters are followed by math examples to help you calculate nutrition needs, a review summary and additional test questions and case profiles. There are a lot of graphics and charts inside that also help you to understand the material. But don't think you can read the summaries and skate by with the text. At least not if you're new to the sciences and nutrition. In addition to digestion basics (which are extremely complex) they cover a lot of ancillary areas, such as diseases affecting the GI tract and those diseases that are contributed to by poor nutrition. I rented the textbook but think I will buy because I think it will be a helpful resource down the road as well since I have at least 2 more nutrition courses I'm required to take. Not light reading by any stretch, but a rock-solid text. Review: Great condition - It was the exact book I needed for my class in great condition.

Cover scratched and there's a rip
The cover is scratched and the corners on the binding are a little beat up. There's even a rip on the binding. The inside is fine though. The outside just looks a lil rough.

but it ended up being a really great, easy to read book
Required to get this for a nutrition class, but it ended up being a really great, easy to read book. Covers all of the basics of human nutrition.

Amazing! I was able to get my book in ...
Amazing! I was able to get my book in one day of which I needed for school. I reviewed the book and it has what I needed. Thank your for making it possible for me to have that same day shopping.

Easy to read and follow
Easy to read and follow. Rented it for online classes and it arrived within a week. There were very little marks inside. I've only seen 2 words written in it by other people and I'm half way through it.
