Book Description
Abstract: In addition to a reprint of the classic nutrition treatise, a history of the author's university, comments on his book, and comments on Anders Sparrmena's translation of the book are included. Rosen von Rosenstein's book is one of the benchmark studies in the history of pediatrics and infant nutrition; for example, he was aware of the nutritional basis of rickets. If work in medicine is not to be haphazard, but rather to follow well-laid plans, the guidance of history is necessary. First-rate, important work in this field cannot be produced without a combination of historical and experimental methods. The historical perspective of this book should be of interest to most nutrition professionals.
