Learning objectives at the beginning of each chapter identify important concepts and provide a "road map" for learning
"Student activities" sections at the end of each chapter provide opportunities to directly apply material
The comprehensive appendix provides tables of important conversion factors, guides, industry contacts, food composition and additional resources, including Internet URL's
