Molecular Basis Of Human Nutrition (Lifelines Series)

Molecular Basis of Human Nutrition focuses on the metabolic basis of human nutrition, detailing recent knowledge and research in this field. It explains the biochemical functions of the essential nutrients and the physiological consequences of deficient and excessive intakes. These are described within the context of normal human diets and requirements for health. Although this book is about human nutrition, in some instances there are comparisons with and examples of other mammalian species to facilitate understanding of the principles. Molecular Basis of Human Nutrition is the only book to cover this particular subject and will prove very popular with both students and lecturers alike.

In 1989 a MORI poll asked 2000 people some basic questions about food and nutrition. On average 55% got the answers wrong and 16% couldn't answer at all. This book assesses current scientific evidence to offer a view of the narrowness of most people's diet. Heart attacks, cancer, obesity, diabetes and bowel disease are major health problems facing western countries, and often they are diet-related. The book suggests how a few minor changes in diet can revolutionize people's health. The topics include an explanation of how dietary needs vary according to age, methods of weight control, shopping, cooking methods, family nutrition, food research aimed at preventing cancer and an A-Z directory of nutrition and food safety. Dr Tom Sanders has published more than 100 academic articles and books on nutrition and is a frequent broadcaster. Peter Bazalgette devised and produced BBC2's "Food and Drink" programme.

This narrative about learning some of the meanings of ancient Native American rock carvings from elders and a hawk is an excellent beginning to understand the carving's complex and layered implications. The elders who have been my teachers for twenty-two years taught me at the beginning that to understand the meaning of rock carvings would take years, that I would have to learn traditional ways, and most of my education would come through experiences from all that was around me (nature). Although I wrote this book for the general adult public, Chapter 1 contains a standalone story where children and adults learn about a mother hawk and her children. This story also serves as a Native American introductory experience to the adult sections of the book. I made the text large in Chapter 1 to ease its reading to children on your lap while they follow along with the photographs. Young adults and older adults explore Chapter 2 to deepen their understanding of the hawk's lesson, Native American ways of being, and ancient rock carvings. Chapter 3 records the things that motivated and inspired me on this journey. The documents and books listed in the bibliography contain detailed discussions of the Red Rock Ridge. I took the photos of the hawk as these events happened.

... this book has a much greater value in approaching the particularly difficult field of non-accidental head injuries (NAHI) in children than many sophisticated articles in high-ranked medical journals... This book will affect considerably the approach of the reader to suspected NAHI cases. The book is well worth the couple of hours needed to read it.'
- Forensic Science, Medicine and Pathology
'The book provides a logical and thorough overview of a complex and often emotive subject from a professional and objective stance without any obvious bias... In summary, this excellent book provides an insight into the controversial area of non-accidental head injury in babies and infants and will be of interest to paediatricians, social workers, the legal profession and a small number of paediatric nurses, some of whom may come into contact with these families.'
- British Journal of Neuroscience Nursing
'For readers in a variety of disciplines, Cobley (Cardiff Law School, Wales) and Sanders (Medical Sociology, U. of Manchester) explore challenges of responding to head injury in small children that are not due to accident. The research project underlying the study investigated the quantity and quality of evidence recorded when a subdural haemorrhage is detected, and evaluated the use made of such evidence in making decisions that determine the social and legal consequence for the victims and their families. The methodology and raw results of the research are appended.'

This academic research volume explores non-accidental head injury in babies and young children, covering medical, social, and legal aspects of this phenomenon, as well as the responsibilities of professionals, child protection agencies and the media in this area.
Non-accidental head injury is often referred to as being synonymous with 'shaken baby syndrome' (SBS) - a term which has attracted a great deal of controversy in recent years due to both disagreement about its cause and the reliability of eyewitness testimony. The authors investigate the existing evidence surrounding SBS and its recognition and construction, including medical versus social explanations and the difficulties involved in proving abuse. The reliability of eyewitness and expert testimony are discussed in the context of the concept of proof, as is the social backlash against high profile media cases such as those of Sally Clarke, Trupti Patel and Angela Cannings.
The authors argue for an examination of non-accidental head injury rather than SBS, as this term encompasses other forms of abuse as well as shaking, and caution against a blind acceptance of medical testimony, arguing that this may impede child protection agencies' ability to assess cases objectively and accurately. They also consider the effectiveness of prevention strategies in reducing the incidence of child abuse cases.
This insightful book is essential reading for social workers, lawyers, health professionals, and those working with child protection agencies.
