Understanding Nutrition 12th Edition

Review

It is not the typical nutrition book that talks about apples and oranges. She actually talks about "far out" stuff like spirulina, super dieters tea, ma huang, kombucha, probiotics, Qi gong, colonics etc. I wish that she would have gone into a little more detail about the alternative health stuff that you find in health food stores as I shop there alot. This books shows you how to calculate your Body Mass Index, how to calculate the amt of proteins, carbs and fats you need in your diet specifically for your weight and there is an index in the back that acts as a calorie guide to todays most popular foods. It not only tells you where you should be at ht/wt wise but also where your waist line should be and even calculations for that.
Buyer beware. Purchasing this book through Amazon might save you a few bucks but you aren't purchasing the same version of the book you would get in a university bookstore. The Amazon version does not contain an access code to connect to the supplemental web support referenced multiple times in this textbook. When I called customer support I was told that since Amazon doesn't specifically say the book contains the access code, I shouldn't have expected it to.

Would recommend Understanding Nutrition 12th Edition to anyone. Please share comment on this page or Understanding Nutrition 12th Edition of our webside. Thank you for give time to share your opinion. Get more detail about College Textbooks for Cheap.

The Interpersonal Communication Book 12th Edition

Review by Cleveland
This book is a more tedious read than it needs to be because of a plethora of grammatical errors. The ill-placed comma on page 152, for example ("Finally, the communication structure or network, developed in the group impacts information flows among group members."), is the kind of thing that makes you stop and re-read the sentence a few times to make sure you extracted the correct meaning. There seem to be a lot of similar mistakes. I was required to buy this text for a course I was required to take. Since I wasn't looking forward to the course, my attention span and patience was short enough to begin with; this book is not helping.

The Visual Display of Quantitative Information 2nd edition

Review by Abhinav Agarwal
Perhaps the single most accessible book on data visualizations. You are given a tour of the history of visualizations, the seminal contributions of people such as Playfair, Tukey, and others, a rogues' gallery of sorts of awful visualizations, a peek into small-multiples visualizations, and an exposition of the principles of good graphic design and visualizations. A must-have book for anyone interested in good data visualizations.

Tufte's contention is that a lack of adequate knowledge and expertise and a mistaken notion about numbers are to blame for bad visualizations. The principles of good visualizations, on the other hand, are few and simple. The book is all about exposing bad examples and enunciating these good principles, beautifully illustrated with examples, and printed on excellent quality paper.
