The Science Behind Food

This is a very smart book.  The graphic display is just enough to capture attention and even help to organize your attention, but it not too much to be distracting.  The information is just as admirable.  Smart science with tracing food energy back to the sun.  The foods are broken down into the basic groups and then digestion, a recipe to try, glossary, websites, books and index.  There is a glossary at the bottom of each page, explaining vocabulary. There is a stream of captions that add extra tips for learning.  This is a great book to teach and share updated food information to fourth or fifth graders.  Recommended.
