Food and Culture

Food and Culture  I rented this book for a nursing class for my daughter. As a nurse myself I like to read though her books and help her with her studies. I found this book to be very informative about different cultures and their relationship to food. Very helpful to help you deal with their dietary needs in healthcare.

Shipped quickly and well packed. Good price. However, the first 21 pages were missing. Otherwise, I would have given 5 starts.

Was the correct book needed for a class also had the correct IBSN number as well.

If you want to know more about the authentic food in different countries and their religion, you should purchase this book. Very details. I love it.

It is unfortunate this book lacks some consideration for students despite ample information it offers. Like some reviewers mentioned, nothing is in bold, which forces you to waste your time looking for a term.

I rented the kindle e-book and selected the date which I wanted the rental to end August 5th (which was the last day of my class). Everything went smoothly but today July 13th three weeks before class ends suddenly my rental was expired. Wtf. Weird. So I went back onto amazon to rent it again and now it wont let me select my own return date and instead it is saying the rental has to be until October and will cost me another $36.00. So basically I selected the date my class ended for the rental expiration date and suddenly it changed. And now it has to be rented until October just so that they can rack up the price....shady..

Briefly explains a little bit about every culture. Easy to read. Has some pictures. Touches on how religion & environment influences food. Also talks about different cultures in America and how people were influenced by the western culture.

I bought this for an online class and didn't use it at all much so I can't say if it is helpful. It does however have a lot of information on didn't kinds of food so if you are interested in Food and Culture then get this book because it is one of the few textbooks that contain information that is related to its title
