Updated with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2020-2025, Nutrition for a Changing World, Second Edition is now available in Macmillan Learning’s breakthrough online platform, Achieve—a comprehensive set of interconnected teaching and assessment tools co-designed with instructors and students using a foundation of learning research and rigorous testing.

Written and illustrated in the style of Scientific American magazine, Nutrition for a Changing World engages students like no other nutrition textbook. Chapters focus on real stories—about real people and real science—bringing context and relevance to the core science. Infographics serve as “science storyboards,” guiding students step by step through essential processes and concepts. Coverage of timely topics—gluten-free diets, the diabetes epidemic, global nutrition—exemplify the book’s contemporary approach to nutrition science.

Nutrition for Changing World is also the only product for the course to offer AnalyzeMyDiet, a diet tracker with personalized, auto-graded diet analysis activities, freeing instructors from hand-grading these projects. New to this Digital Update edition:
The Second Edition Dietary Guidelines for Americans and Digital Update reflects the ever-changing science of nutrition and responds to feedback from the community of introductory nutrition instructors.

In the text, you’ll find:

The latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2020-2025)
21 revised Infographics
The same pagination as the Second Edition, but with the latest statistics and findings in a “write-to-fit” update, so you don’t have to update your syllabus.

Achieve
Achieve is proven to engage students at all levels both inside and outside of the classroom, elevating individual and classwide performance.

Featured in Achieve:
AnalyzeMyDiet provides both a diet tracker and personalized, auto-graded diet analysis activities, freeing instructors from hand-grading diet analysis projects.

Auto-graded AnalyzeMyDiet activities. Students are asked to do one or two calculations per activity (to help prepare them for exams), all questions--calculations and multiple choice-- contain error specific feedback, students are provided with overall analytics on the activity, and instructors can view Timeline videos when meeting with students 1:1 to see where they might have trouble while completing the activity.

Real-World Nutrition activities have been reimagined so that there is one per chapter and Spotlight. Chapter activities contain advanced question types, like drag-and-drop, sorting, ranking and more, along with feedback and hints. Spotlight activities provide scenario-based exercises so students can apply material they’ve learned.

Error specific feedback and hints in Chapter Reading Quizzes, Real World Nutrition activities, Animations Quizzes.

In Class Activity Guides for every chapter, as well as Student Study Guides that instructors can edit and make available for student use.

Interactive e-book—paginated, fully searchable and downloadable for offline reading. Features such as highlighting, flash cards, bookmarks, and note-taking make the e-book an effective study tool.

Revised LearningCurve adaptive quizzing with more questions per chapter, increased use of images from the text, and the replacement of fill-in-the-blank questions with multiple choice.
