NUTRITION NOW is the best option for professors looking for a non-majors text that is research-based, yet presented in an applied, consumer-oriented approach. Its unique modular format is comprised of 33 individual units (as opposed to a traditional 12- to 15-chapter sequence) that cover the basics of nutrition science and its applications to daily life. Instructors have the flexibility to choose which units to cover, and to modify the sequence of coverage to meet the interests and needs of their students and the course. Plus, besides the flexibility of the text, there is a new "Activities Manual" that includes a variety of suggested class activities and labs that allow instructors to design an interactive environment regardless of the size of the class. This edition incorporates up-to-date coverage of the newest research and emerging issues in nutrition. The interactive pedagogical features of this text, along with the author's direct and friendly writing style, make it a favorite among readers and instructors alike.
