The Vitamins 5th edition

Understanding the vitamins is key to understanding nutrition.
The history of their discovery and the continuing elucidation of their roles in health is the history of the emergence of nutrition as a science from the areas of physiology, biochemistry, medicine, and agriculture.
Capturing the understanding that grew out of that history is both a challenge and a privilege. For us, it involved months of reviewing thousands of publications and looking for clear ways to present complex information without overstating present understanding.
Producing this fifth edition of The Vitamins benefitted from the inclusion of a coauthor, which we believe brought a new prospective to the text. James studied the first edition of the The Vitamins as a masters student at the University of New Hampshire in 1997. He encountered the second edition of the text as Jerry’s student at Cornell University in 2001. We are hopeful that the dynamic relationship we have enjoyed, as student/mentor, colleagues, friends, and now coauthors, has resulted in the most effective edition of this text, as both a reference and a teaching aid.
