Tabor, John E. Ehiri and Victor R. Preedy NEW The combination of growing populations moving into large cities in high risk zones increase the risk of natural disasters with a substantial public health consequence. A high population density and rapid air travel increase the spread and effects of plagues and diseases. People in countries with limited resources are more vulnerable to death and other consequences of disasters. This requires global rather than national preparedness and response strategies. Public health organisations, government and non-government organisations can take a leadership role and provide training, organisation and research knowledge to improve responses to such disasters. This book is the first holistic public health approach in relation to natural disasters. It fills the gap to have a one-stop-shopping synopsis of key ideas associated with mediation of public health natural disasters. It is unique in focusing on ‘lessons learned’ rather than ‘what to do’. Published research relating to general responses by public health agencies to disasters is scientifically evaluated. Various types of disasters are reviewed: flooding, diseases, earthquakes, volcanoes, and drought. Long term needs, prevention and individual preparation are taken into account. The information can be used to prepare and mitigate effects of disasters. The summary points at the start of each chapter will help the reader to use as this book as reference book and for educational purpose. © 2015 – ± 650 pages hardback ISBN 978-90-8686-257-3 e-book ISBN 978-90-8686-806-3 www.WageningenAcademic.com/HHH10 Handbook of eggs in human function edited by: Ronald Ross Watson and Fabien De Meester NEW Eggs have been used as key part of the human diet for millennia. They contain a great variety of nutrients and material to sustain life and growth. The role of the egg as natural source of vitamins, proteins, fats, and other nutrients, continues to develop. Some nutrients have a controversy in benefits and risks. This controversy is the subject of several chapters in this book. Eggs have been used for decades by pharmaceutical companies as vehicles to grow viruses for vaccines. Currently, eggs are being developed to make antibodies for human use, so-called designer eggs. Eggs can also be used as vehicle to transport vitamins and minerals to humans via nutrient supplemented laying hens. These benefits are subject to commercial expansion, as well as being an active research area. This book, with summary points for each chapter, helps you to understand the role of eggs (including designer eggs) in general nutrition, health promotion and disease. It is aimed at health scientists, nutritionists, dieticians, and food industry groups. © 2015 – ± 600 pages hardback ISBN 978-90-8686-254-2 e-book ISBN 978-90-8686-804-9 www.WageningenAcademic.com/HHH09
Wageningen Academic P u b l i s h e r s Food science 15 ISSN 2212-375X – Human health handbooks www.WageningenAcademic.com/HHH Handbook of dietary and nutritional aspects of bottle feeding edited by: Victor R. Preedy, Ronald Ross Watson and Sherma Zibadi NEW Newborn babies are usually fed via the breast which ensures optimal development and emotional mother-child bonding. However, in some circumstances breast feeding may be either inadequate or impractical. Historically, deficiencies in the provision of breast milk were addressed by wet-nurse feeding but this was superseded by the introduction of artificial milk feeds, i.e. formula or bottle feeds. This handbook covers formula feeds in the most comprehensive way. Each contribution starts with convenient summary points. Six parts give information about historical and international aspects (South American, African and Chinese perspectives), composition, microbiological and chemical contaminants, allergy and immunology, effects on physical development and metabolic responses, and effects on psychological and neurodevelopment. The Handbook of dietary and nutritional aspects of bottle feeding is essential reading material for nutritionists, dieticians, paediatricians, midwives, pharmacologists, health care professionals, general practitioners and those interested in babies health in general. © 2014 – 664 pages – EUR 158 – USD 236 hardback ISBN 978-90-8686-223-8 e-book ISBN 978-90-8686-777-6 www.WageningenAcademic.com/HHH08 Handbook of diet and nutrition in the menstrual cycle, periconception and fertility edited by: Caroline J. Hollins-Martin, Olga B.A. van den Akker, Colin R. Martin and Victor R. Preedy The reproductive cycle in women is complex and can be considered to begin with epigenetic programming and ending with menopause. Intervening steps involve a variety of processes, including the cellular development of the sex organs, menarche, episodic endocrine cycles, menstruation, ovulation and conception. These processes can be influenced by diet and nutrition and vice versa. Body composition has an impact on the menstrual cycle and periconception and these factors in turn also influence body composition. Similarly, either food deprivation, dietary excess or obesity can result in marked changes in the menstrual cycle with a concomitant effect on fertility. This handbook is the first scientific source that provides a comprehensive overview of the relationship of diet and nutrition with puberty, menarche and menstrual cycle, conception and fertility and infertility. The handbook of diet and nutrition in the menstrual cycle, conception and fertility will benefit dieticians, nutritionists, gynaecologists, endocrinologists, obstetricians, paediatricians and those concerned with women’s health in general. © 2014 – 568 pages – EUR 145 – USD 217 hardback ISBN 978-90-8686-212-2 e-book ISBN 978-90-8686-767-7 www.WageningenAcademic.com/HHH07 Handbook of cheese in health: production, nutrition and medical sciences edited by: Victor R.
