Abstract
A volume developed from the workshop 'Setting Standards: The history and politics of nutritional theories and practices in the late 19th and early 20th centuries', Brock Uiversity, Canada, 13-14 August 2011
Setting Nutritional Standards brings together authors from a variety of disciplines to explore perspectives on the theory, practices, and policies of modern nutrition science from the 1860s to the 1960s. The essays place the new science of nutrition within the changing social landscapes of Western Europe and the United States at the intersection of medicine, policy, social reform agendas, and public health initiatives.
