This research-based text uses a direct, student-friendly writing style that makes content approachable, but not oversimplified. The emphasis on active learning and critical thinking both in the text and the "Interactive Learning Guide" allows instructors to design an interactive environment regardless of class size or format (in classroom or online). I would always recommend looking for your school textbooks online at ecampus before going to your own school bookstore. This way is much cheaper.






Nutrition Now (with Interactive Learning Guide): 4 out of 5 stars based on 1 user reviews.
