Nnakwe (nutrition, Illinois State U.) has created this nutritional guide for anyone serving the needs of a community by developing programs for disease prevention and healthy living. The author uses case studies to illustrate effective nutritional programs now in use, including programs that address ethnic and cultural factors. Each chapter contains exercises and activities that allow both students and policymakers to apply key concepts of community nutrition to practical applications. A companion website provides further resources such as an instructor's manual, PowerPoint presentations, animated flash cards and links to nutritional journals and directories.
