It could have been so much better!
Verbose, not detailed, fuzzy and potentially wrong in some cases! It's like someone went onto google, put together a whole bunch of freely available information without too much research and then said hey presto here is my book. It could have been so much better!

米国のスポーツ栄養の勉強をしたくて購入
英語自体はあまり難しくないと思います。 ざっと読んだ、感想としては 分厚くて、内容がくどい。 半分程度がレシピみたいな感じになっており、それは概ね米国人向けである。 米を食べる日本人には、少し非現実的な内容である。 知識が必要な人には、おススメしません。 確かに、栄養のいろは的なことは書いていますが。 ご参考ください！

Great book, I use it often
I wish I would have had this book ten or even fifteen years ago. It is a great book, and does three things really well. 1) It explains in easy terms the key concepts, diets,, assessment methods, etc. Everything in the book is easy to understand. 2) It gives good details. This is not a thin book, but it is not overwhelming - especially when you search for a topic. It gives you what I think is pretty much the perfect level of detail. It has subsections for different types of people and athletes. For example pregnant women, winter sport athletes, etc. Great way to give specific advice that really helps. 3) Nancy has hit the trifecta with the last point - examples and visual aids. Be it a diagram of a plate, or tables of different recovery nutrients, or great recipes, this book is not just an ivory tower guide, it gives you practical and easy to understand information. Note - I received this book in exchange for my review, but I loved it so much I have purchased the Kindle edition to have on the go, that should tell you how much I love it!
