Abstract
Reviews the book, Nutrition promotion. Theories and Methods, Systems and Setting by Tony Worsley (2008). The author has vast experience in the evaluation of public health nutrition programs, and in the promotion and maintenance of behavior change. This comprehensive text is ideal for anyone new to nutritional promotion or an additional resource for those interested in this area of nutrition. There is a logical sequence to the chapters; however, each chapter could be read in isolation and the author refers to relevant theory and models already cited in previous chapters. Effective interventions and critical appraisals of credible global examples of nutrition promotion are always given to back up the theory, making the information more accessible to clinical practice. This book highlights clearly the importance of not complicating the basics. This book is a good resource to refer to and will give a clear understanding of the role of nutrition promoter and provide a comprehensive overview of nutrition in that area, setting or population.
