New titles from NUP

Three new books now available from us, show the ever-expanding subject range that we cover:

Great Wealth, Poor Health. The purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to many of the current issues that relate to the environment, nutrition, food, wellbeing and health in our society.  It highlights the role of wealth and "affluenza" leading to substantial waste and some unfortunate changes in our eating habits.  The food industry has had a role in these changes.  The book details simple guidelines that lead to a healthy lifestyle, and what we should avoid and what we should embrace in everyday living and eating.

Recent Advances in Animal Nutrition 2009 contains the proceedings of the 43rd University of Nottingham Feed Conference. All chapters are written by international experts and provide comprehensive analyses of issues alongside practical applications. This book is essential reading for anyone involved in the livestock industry, including nutritionists, feed suppliers, researchers, consultants, animal science students, legislators and veterinary practitioners.
