Product itself is great shape-I was upset that I paid an extra $12 for it to be shipped 2 day and it took a week to arrive.
However, Amazon is supposedly refunding my money, so we’ll see.

I have been buying my books from Amazon.com for a few years now. I am a graduate student and money is tight, so I have been able to trust that Amazon.com will always have cheap new & used books.

This book is well-illustrated and easy to read, but it is really a basic text, not the end-all. For example, in the section on nutrition, the authors recommend that carbohydrates should constitute 50% of an athlete’s daily calories, and yet they neglect the fact that so many people in this country do not tolerate carbohydrates well. Nutrition really needs to be adjusted to the individual’s metabolism and needs, and there is really no one set magic formula that will work for everyone. But, if you keep that in mind and are looking for a good introductory text, this will serve admirably.

I bought this for a class I am taking, but as I started reading it I quickly found it so interesting and well done that I would not stop.
Ended up reading the whole book over a couple of days. It has a lot of excellent info and great illustrations.
