In this book Mrs. Williams shows her great

understanding of the field of nutrition. She

demonstrates strongly the concept that all of

us--the nurse, the nutritionist, and the physi-

cian, that is, all who are associated with the

care of our lellow human beings--work as a

team. In this concept, care of the patient is the

primary objective of all members of the team.

Mrs. Williams stresses the role, obligations,

and importance of the nutritionist and the nurse

in this total picture. She emphasizes the fact

that change in environment, affected by the sci-

entific advances of our times, must he accepted

and that "health is a relative concept in any

culture."

Mrs. Williams has conscientiously laid out

her philosophy relating to nutrition and has

masterfully organized her buok m focus on the

needs of the patient and the health professional.

It is also apparent that this book is of value to

others in the health sciences and is worthy of

the author s effort.
