Nutrition and Health in Developing Countries /

Abstract

“Nutrition and Health in Developing Countries”, edited by Richard D. Semba and Martin W. Bloem represents, what I believe to be, the most comprehensive overview of the state of the field of international nutrition available to date. Both editors have extensive field as well as laboratory bench expertise; thus their in-depth knowledge of the interactions of nutritional status and its impact on global health provide them with the insights to biological as well as public health issues. Of equal importance, as leaders of this field, they have been able to include chapters by the world’s greatest experts.
