Human Metabolism A Regulatory Perspective

Praise for the previous edition
 
"I had the great pleasure of reading your impressive text. While I realize that your intended market is certainly not people such as myself (I read it to better understand my own health and body), it is surprisingly well suited for that purpose: being both dense in useful information and surprisingly accessible to non-specialist readers. I appreciated several things about your book -- that you kept the text relatively short for an academic text; that you made it largely self-contained (I especially appreciate your care in providing internal cross references in the book); that you put much of the content into tables, boxes, and diagrams ... I learned a great deal from the book, and it has substantially increased the quality of my interactions with my own physician" (Doug Tygar, Professor of Computer Science & Information, UC Berkeley, USA)
 
"It is hard to find a textbook that gives a better basis for the understanding of Human metabolism and nutrition, that is so well designed and actually quite fun to read as this one. This book is my first choice for a textbook for my medical students and for nursing school too. It is well suited for any kind of studies of metabolism at a higher level because of its ease at explaining the basics and the frameworks needed for the understanding of metabolism. It is the first book I give to my doctorial students when they need to freshen up their knowledge and the basics in metabolism when starting research in clinical nutrition and metabolism...if anyone is looking for the most interesting and fun book to read as an in depth introduction to human metabolism and nutrition, this is it!"
