Celiac Disease: A Guide to Living with Gluten Intolerance
Celiac disease is a digestive disorder caused by a sensitivity to the protein gluten in wheat flour, which in turn can damage the small intestine and inhibit the body’s absorption of nutrients from food. The disease is hereditary and can affect entire families. Cowritten by a registered nurse who lives with celiac disease, a dietician, and a clinical pharmacist, this indispensable guide tackles all aspects of the disease, including symptoms, diagnosis, management, complications, and current research. While many cookbooks and dietary manuals on gluten intolerance exist, Celiac Disease is the only book on how to live fully and richly while maintaining a gluten-free lifestyle. In addition to learning how to set up and maintain a gluten-free kitchen, readers find strategies for tackling emotional issues, nutrition and dietary guidelines, tips for dining out, and advice on raising a celiac child. .

Nutrition and Health in Developing Countries (Nutrition and Health) (Nutrition and Health)
In Nutrition and Health in Developing Countries, a team of leading public health and infectious disease experts, epidemiologists, and clinical nutritionists break new ground by reviewing the major health problems of these countries and detailing the role that role that poor nutrition plays in their etiology. In their treatment of the epidemiology, prevention, and control of these health problems, the contributors examine a variety of such pressing medical problems as maternal mortality, low birth weight, infant mortality, and child growth and development, as well as the most significant associated diseases (measles, malaria, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, diarrhea, and respiratory disease). Innovative and interdisciplinary, Nutrition and Health in Developing Countries synthesizes the latest knowledge concerning the major infectious disease and nutritional problems of developing countries and demonstrates the fundamental importance of addressing the problems of malnutrition and "hidden hunger" (vitamin and mineral deficiencies) needed to resolve those all too widespread health problems..

The Escape from Hunger and Premature Death, 1700-2100: Europe, America, and the Third World (Cambridge Studies in Population, Economy and Society in Past Time)
Nobel laureate Robert Fogel's compelling new study examines health, nutrition and technology from 1700 to 2100. Although throughout most of human history, chronic malnutrition has been the norm, a synergy between improvements in productive technology and human physiology has enabled humans to more than double their average longevity and to increase their body size by over fifty percent over the past three centuries. Larger, healthier humans have contributed to the acceleration of economic growth and technological change, resulting in reduced economic inequality, declining hours of work and a corresponding increase in leisure time. Increased longevity has also brought increased demand for health care. Fogel argues that health care should be viewed as the growth industry of the twenty-first century and systems of financing it should be reformed. His book will be essential reading for all interested in economics, demography, history and health care policy. A professor at the University of Chicago, Robert William Fogel has taught at the University of Rochester, Cambridge University, and Harvard University. He has received numerous awards and prizes for his work, including the Arthur C. Cole Prize (1968), the Schumpeter Prize (1971), the Bancroft Prize (1975), the Gustavus Myers Prize (1990), and the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science (1993). Previous books include Without Consent or Contract: The Rise and Fall of American Slavery (W.W. Norton & Company, 1994) and The Fourth Great Awakening and the Future of Egalitarianism (The University of Chicago Press, 2000)..

Maternal Nutrition and Child Health
This outstanding new edition serves as an excellent compendium of information for all who are interested in maternal, infant, and childhood nutrition. The book reviews various scientific studies which link poor nutrition to permanent neurological damage and other handicapping conditions, discusses the pertinent medical phenomena, and unequivocally demonstrates that infant and childhood death and permanent neurological impairment are primary effects of malnutrition during pregnancy and early postnatal life. Major sections include: the effects of starvation on reproductive casualty, the influence of prenatal nutrition on maternal and infant health, the Motherwell Protocol, physiological and pathophysiological effects of malnutrition, birth weight and development, the correlation of prenatal and paranatal complications with neurological disorders, the relation of maternal health to infant health and development, nutrition during infancy and early childhood, and the biological imperative. Two new chapters have been added that assess important programs of nutritional supplementation and management of pregnancy. Those interested in the role of nutrition on reproduction will also find a mass of valid scientific data from studies of human development. Written in simple language, the book is a forceful presentation on the subject and will be stimulating reading for both the professional and the layman..
