Rezension zu „Nutrition and Health in Developing Countries “
Like the first edition, the second edition of Nutrition and Health in Developing Countries- a tome to which no less than 45 leading minds in a diverse range of disciplines have contributed - is set to define a new level of understanding in this important area of policy, research and programming. Intended for policy makers, nutritionists, students, scientists and professionals, the book provides the most recent and up-to-date knowledge regarding major health and nutritional problems in developing countries, presented to facilitate an integrated approach to health research, programs, and policy. New chapters in the book's final section contain special topics relating to humanitarian emergencies, including a case study of the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004, food in humanitarian relief, food policy, the emerging role of supermarkets in developing countries, homestead food production, aging, ethics, and the adverse impact of parental tobacco use on child health in poor families. As readers of the previous edition know, what is characteristic of the volume is its underlying conviction that global health and nutrition problems can only be solved through a more integrated, multidisciplinary approach to better understand the various levels of causality and interactions between determinants. The book powers on with insightful contributions from academics and professionals steeped in the fields of clinical nutrition, medicine, immunology, infectious disease, epidemiology, public health nutrition, anthropology, health policy, economics, and disaster planning.-Sight and Life
