The book is fine as a lone book if you don't need the access code. If you're buying it for a class, you probably do need the access code.As noted in the other review, this book as sold by DOES NOT come with the required online access code. If your class requires the online McGraw-Hill Connect access then you will either have to buy it from them for an additional $45 or buy the book + access code somewhere else.
Full of obvious gramatical mistakes and format errors (that have never been corrected throughout its many editions of the book). Required for Nutrition class. Literally one of the worsts textbooks I have ever read (and I have read every page of it as required for this class). The chapters are confusing and lengthy because of their over complicated word styles and horrible definitions. Tables and paragraph content are full of inaccurate information and are only relevant until about 2006 and rarely 2008; it's based on old research and standards. I am already in Chapter 11 of 16 and it still hasn't shown progress in the amount of depth it takes to understand true nutrition. All of this nutrition information is centered around what the government wants you to buy and eat, aka my pyramid and MyPlate.gov. If you're buying this for yourself and personal use, GET A DIFFERENT BOOK or just see what LiveStrong or MyPlate says you should do. It is easier and less frustrating to read. If you need this for a class, get it USED - you will never want to read it again - good luck!
I love the book, and I rented it but man it is expensive to buy. At least the loose leaf that they wanted us to buy was expensive. This book however, paired with the right professor was worth every penny. There is plenty of invaluable up-to-date information about nutrition in this book. I really enjoyed learning about everything and have already changed some of my eating habits because of it.
I took a class that required this book... The big problem was that it didn't come with a code to use the activity center thing on the internet. So i had to spend even more money on that.
Rented for class, received as expected in perfect condition.
I took an online course requiring this text and was very pleased with the presentation of the material and the content that is relevant to today's views and beliefs on dieting and nutrition. Certainly worth the rental charge.
I needed this book for school and it arrived promptly, and is actually a very useful book, even outside of school. I would recommend it to anyone trying to get their foot in the game.
It's a text book which required in my class. Bought it second hand. Still good condition. The context also really good, easy to understand and explained every concept clearly.
