Nutrition: Science and Applications, 3rd edition helps develop the scientific understanding to support personal and professional decisions. Using a critical thinking approach, Smolin brings nutrition out of the classroom and allows students to apply the logic of science to their own nutrition concerns both as consumers and as future scientists and health professionals. The text has been developed through collaboration between the authors and the Nutrition Advisory Board, a team of dedicated nutrition instructors who help review and develop all of Wiley’s nutrition resources.

While it isn't perfect (no textbook is) and from the sound of things may be the worst place to buy this (you NEED the supplemental material even if you are not taking the class!!), this has, both in its former edition and this one, been an excellent book for 1st year/level college nutrition courses or even honors/accelerated high school electives for students who do well in biology&math in particular. One thing I enjoy about teaching nutrition in general is that at least in our university, a wide variety of students enroll in my course: medical school students, nursing school students (the highest percent of my students are hoping to become nurses), dental hygiene students, and research-oriented students. It's a massive blend of kids from many years who all come in and, despite many both thinking it will be easy because they've had plenty of classes that SHOULD teach it, are bewildered and, once I start throwing my own 19 years of research and college-plus education, scared. This book isn't the scary part; I'm the one who terrifies them about just what happens when people take Emergen-C and similar substances (heart attack at 25, go, go, go!!!). The book is, frankly, not something that should be read as a standalone work... the teacher really HAS to be there to fill in the gaps... but if you ARE a teacher looking for "the" best nutrition textbook for your first year nursing students, nutritionists-to-be, etc...
I rented this book because it was $30 cheaper than buying it from the book store with the access code. It clearly states in the Product details "COMES WITH WILEY PLUS ACCESS CODE" My book arrived minus an access code. I talked to 7 different people who told me I should have searched the faqs on book rentals to see that it is not a guarantee. The kept me on hold for half an hour before answering my call and then put me back on hold for another 15 minutes, then hung up on me. The third manager I talked to Thandazwa from the text book department, offered me a gift card for $25 (half the price of purchasing a code from .com). I was so mad last night that I turned her down and hung up. This morning I called back to see what could be done about it. The first woman I talked to her name was Anna in text books. She offered me a $30 dollar credit that couldn't be used to purchase because it had to be a direct from supply purchase. This access code is supplied by Wiley. I asked her if it could be made in to a gift card so I could use it for the code. She transferred me to her manager Dana who wouldn't even give me a credit. Basically told me to go screw myself and that I was stupid for not reading the fine print on a separate page that I would have had to know that it existed.Somehow during all this they started treating me like i was in the wrong for expecting what there website claimed to be true. Dana transferred me to her manager Gary from the West Virginia management office. He told me he could offer me the credit but that was it. I told him that the woman the night before had offered a gift card, and asked him if he had the ability to do that. He said it wasn't the normal procedure, but if it had been offered that he could do it.
