“I am impressed with the writing style and clarity of explanations. The author has done an outstanding job in writing at a level suitable for a nonmajors textbook.”
Kwaku Addo, University of Kentucky
“I have read so many chapters on carbohydrates that it is refreshing to read one that is different, including the style. I feel this chapter presents a practical, consumer-oriented approach to carbohydrates. This can be a boring, ‘everybody has heard it before’ topic, and she managed to present it in a new, clear and concise manner.”
Sharon Antonelli, San Jose City College
“I absolutely loved Chapter 2 – Evaluating Nutrition Information. This is a concise way of presenting much needed information that is too brief in many textbooks, including the one I currently use. The author did an excellent job producing a practical, consumer-oriented approach to this necessary information for all introductory students.”
Lorri Kanauss, Western Illinois University
“I don’t think I’ve read a better-written introductory nutrition text. It is informative, has a nice flow, and is easy to understand. The examples are engaging and clear.”
Danita Kelley, Western Kentucky University
“I found the chapters to be very well written and engaging. I appreciated how specific examples and personal stories were utilized to capture the reader’s attention. The highlight boxes and supplemental material are also very interesting and current. GREAT job!”
Tammy Stephenson, University of Kentucky
“The text is at a very good level. Not too simple that will insult those with a strong science background, but easy enough for those with weak science backgrounds.”
Janet Colson, Middle Tennessee State University
“The writing style in chapter 2 – Evaluating Nutrition Information – is clear and very easy to understand. I found the chapter quite interesting and very thorough – more so than any other nutrition textbook I’ve read.”
Allison Miner, Prince George’s Community College
