Biography

Felix Bronner

"…a very useful supplementary text in a graduate or medical school course on clinical nutrition."
-Food and Nutrition Bulletin, Vol. 27, No. 2

"It contains several excellent chapters and, in general, provides much practical information for general clinicians. …the book provides a good overview of the application of nutrition by clinicians for treating chronic diseases and has the advantage of being short, focused, and easy to read."
-Khursheed N. Jeejeebhoy, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2006

". . . an excellent book. It contains a number of texts that are not often found elsewhere, like the clearly written overviews about nutrition and allergy and nutrition and dermatology."
