Richard Hoffman – författare

This impressive collection of readings illustrates that the history of the world is as much about the relationships among societies as it is about transformations and continuities within societies. Exchanges: A Global History Reader is designed as an introduction to the discipline of world history. Unlike other source collections, Exchanges helps students look beyond strictly delineated regionalism and chronological structures to understand history as a product of ongoing debate. Structured around a series of interconnected themes and debates, and pairing both primary and secondary sources, Exchanges challenges both students and teachers to rethink history.

The Mediterranean Diet: Health and Science is a timely, authoritative and accessible account of the Mediterranean diet for nutritionists and dieticians. It discusses the Mediterranean diet in the light of recent developments in nutritional biochemistry, disease mechanisms and epidemiological studies, and also provides advice on nutrition policies and interventions.

The Mediterranean Diet: Health and Science opens with an overview of the Mediterranean diet, and this is followed by a survey of the latest epidemiological evidence for its health benefits. There is detailed nutritional information on olive oil, wine, fish, fruit and vegetables and other components of the Mediterranean diet, and this information is used to explain how the diet protects against a range of age-related diseases. The book emphasises the importance of understanding the Mediterranean diet in its totality by discussing the evidence for beneficial interactions between various components of the diet. There are also discussions of how agricultural practices, as well as food preparation and cooking techniques, influence the nutritional quality of the diet. The book concludes by discussing the social context in which the Mediterranean diet is eaten, and public health issues associated with adopting a Mediterranean diet, especially in the context of more northerly countries.

Written by nutritional biochemist Richard Hoffman and a past President of the French Nutrition Society, Mariette Gerber, who between them have many years experience in this area, this exciting and highly topical boook is an essential purchase for all nutritionists and dietitians worldwide. Libraries in all universities where nutrition, dietetics and food science and technology are studied and taught should have copies of this excellent book on their shelves.

Implementing the Mediterranean Diet: Nutrition in Practice and Public Health situates this ‘gold standard’ of diets within the wider food environment by bridging the gap between the evidence-based health benefits of the Mediterranean diet and its implementation. The text explores the many approaches that can be used by health professionals to help consumers adopt this healthy eating pattern, as well as the barriers encountered with implementing this diet at home and in the wider environment. It also considers sustainable food and farming practices, and national food strategies.

A one-stop resource for food and health professionals, this seminal text demonstrates the full range of benefits that the Mediterranean diet can bring to society. This ground-breaking book:

Implementing the Mediterranean Diet is a must-have resource for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students in the food sciences, and for healthcare professionals such as dietitians, nutritionists, GPs, and health workers, especially those working in non-Mediterranean, high-income countries.

Praise for Exchanges: A Global History Reader

The authors have successfully produced a text that will allow students to explore the ways in which historical writing has

generated important debates about world history.... It offers a rich and diverse compilation of reading materials that provide

students with ideas about world history, but also with models of historical writing.... Moreover, it offers examples from a wide

range of geographical areas, something that will help broaden the horizons of the average student.

——Esperanza Brizuela-Garcia, Montclair State University

The method of placing competing narratives side by side is one of the best strategies for demonstrating the nature of history as

an interpretation.... I am very excited about the possibilities that this text could provide for transforming my World Civilizations

course. An attentive student will find his or her basic assumptions challenged on every page, and it is this kind of intellectual

transformation that I seek to facilitate as a teacher.

——Carolyn R. Dupont, Eastern Kentucky University

I think this textbook goes a long way toward helping students to think more deeply and more historically about the state of the

world today.... The fact that the book is focused upon the five big questions of world history is a great plus. Too many world

history readers have a diffuse focus and don’t really add up to a book that promotes sustained, focused inquiry.

——Mark Jones, Central Connecticut State University

I would describe the book as an introduction to being a world historian. Through a selection of thematic case studies,

students are able to compare theories, test historians’ interpretations against the primary evidence, and access the range

of material that allows them to develop their own interpretations of the worlds they inhabit and inherit.

——Lesley Mary Smith, George Mason University

Exchanges focuses more than any other reader on the interconnectedness of regions and the debates pertaining to the new

world history.... The authors successfully demonstrate that history is contested to this day. Not only is this a more accurate

portrayal of historical scholarship than most readers provide, it is also more interesting for the students, who are more likely

to appreciate history if they see it as contested, often for reasons closely connected with the state of the world today.

——A. Martin Wainwright, University of Akron
