This book is decent. I felt that the information it provided was accurate and essential for using in my nursing courses. I think that over all though the book was a little over drawn out on useless information. For me I just needed the facts and it gave me a lot of fluff.
The book was indeed the book I ordered but it is very dirty and worn and I ended up just having to order a new one cause it Isn't going to work for nursing school.
The book wasn't in the shape that it claimed it was in. But the book does provide everything you could need and want for nutrition essentials.
Great book for nutrition. Only thing it needs is a study guide to accompany it.
Fast delivery, great price and exactly what I needed!
