User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review As with previously reviewed `Crash course’ books, these texts are written for students by students, as such the understanding of the subject matter is made much easier due to the author considering your current knowledge is null and void! What I enjoy the most about these books is how everything is broken down, right back to basics, to understand for example, `HOW’ ATP is generated, and although when flicking through the book you may be tempted to put it right back on the shelf when you see some of the diagrams of certain synthesis productions and their subsequent stages, the supporting text does take you through each stage step by step. The chapters on vitamins and minerals I believe would be of benefit for student nurses due to further understanding chemical implications and the chapter on metabolic disease is excellent detailing why they occur, complications and symptoms.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is THE most amazing book to teach you about metabolism and nutrition! It takes a complicated subject and breaks it down into tiny bites, in simple language, making the concepts easy to follow and absorb. Plus the authors tell you facts that other authors either don’t tell you at all or present in ways that are often confusing and misleading to students. Extraneous and unnecessary details are left out, and even the graphs and the accompanying texts are great. Learning about Metabolism, nutrition and even the physiopathologic bases of disease becomes almost fun!

⭐A reliable source for processes. It updates my biochemistry course of 30 years ago. Inexpensive and to the point, easy to follow. All I expected

⭐I haven’t read it so far but I own other books from this series and they are all good

⭐Great quick reference. Everyone should own and read this book. Time for our society to get educated about nutrition…. put the big pharmafood producers ON NOTICE!!!

⭐Amazing book to study the bases of nutrition on an easy, quick and nice way. Totally recommend it. It takes you through disease and the physiopathologic base of each.

⭐Metabolism & Nutrition (Crash Course) supplies up-to-date info about the subject in a succinct fashion. We, at the lab, were very satisfied with the outcome of this purchase.

⭐A crash course in metabolism and nutrition, what a very novel idea! I see it is designed with the medical student in mind i.e a trainee or junior doctor, wanting to expend their knowledge in the field. As a well rounded knowledgable person on the subject of nutrition and human metabolic processes, there are some terms I am familiar with from ny student days when I had to learn about these complex biological concepts at A level! Nonetheless, i shall be having a go at it in due course to see if I can be on a par with the medics out there. Also, a very reasonable price, as most medical textbooks are well over 100 pounds a copy!

⭐I bought this on Kindle, which is probably not the best way to read this book as the diagrams don’t translate well and it is one that you might want to leaf through now and again if you are studying nutrition. The content is excellent and light, making what can be a confusing topic quite readable. Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in the workings of the body with regards to nutrition or anyone who is studying, as a supplement to the somewhat drier textbooks.

⭐thank you
