Well done, Dr. Frayn!
The approach taken by the book is fully integrative, and discuss human metabolism in context of human physiology. This is what sets this book apart!! Its not yet another biochemistry text which study the metabolic pathways , its so much more.
Personal trainers , athletes , individuals interested in human performance and sport physiology will find this book very atractive and usefull in understanding key concepts of metabolism and metabolic pathways, organism repsonse to various nutritional plans, extremes like starvation & the metabolic changes during intense physical exercise. Human metabolism is a important component of sports and training, and by reading this book, many of its mysteries will be revealed.
Very good value.
