Why we chose this book

Jim Rose, MS, RD and I edited the first edition of this ground-breaking book in the mid-80's. I have edited the second and third editions. I asked some of the most creative and successful dietitians world-wide to contribute chapters and case studies in order to share their best ideasd and skills with colleagues. The content of this book can save students and practitioners hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars.
