Manual of dietetic practice - Briony Thomas

Since it was first published in 1988, the Manual of Dietetic Practice has become an indispensable textbook for all those involved in the field of clinical nutrition and dietetics. Compiled from the contributions of over eighty experts, it is a comprehensive guide to the principles and practice of dietetics covering everything from intensive care to health education. This second edition retains the format of its predecessor but all sections have been fully updated and there is additional coverage of topics such as anti–oxidant vitamins, AIDS, pressure sores and the nutritional management of head and spinal injuries.
