"the editor aptly chose authors with both clinical and research expertise in their respective areas of vitamin D Biology. The chapters are well organized, adequately annotated and current. . .This excellent book clearly has greatest utility as a resource and reference to specialists, but non-specialists could benefit from the chapters on clinical applications. Health professionals involved in setting public health initiatives and policy could gain invaluable insight into future strategies for disease prevention with the possible role of vitamin D supplements and fortification in the prevention and treatment of cancer and other diseases."-The Quarterly Review of Biology
" In summary, this is a comprehensive , well-edited volume devoted to the rapidly expanding knowledge on vitamin D. Each chapter is extensively referenced . The book not only provides in-depth information on the far-reaching biological effects of this hormone, but also leaves the reader with many ideas concerning future developments. In view of our aging population, which is prone to develop osteoporosis, autoimmunity and cancer, detailed information on vitamin D in addition to its role in bone formation appears essential. The book is a masterly survey and is recommended as a reference. In addition, it provides fascinating reading."----Retinoids
"The editor has assembled an impressive series of contributors who each have dealt with a specific aspect of Vitamin D function...a very comprehensive and quite detailed book, which should serve as a useful reference text for those interested in both clinical and basic aspects of Vitamin D metabolism...Dr. Holick has produced a book which will represent a valuable source of reference material for cell biologists and clinicians alike."-Cell Biology International
"This comprehensive, up-to-date book reviews the wide spectrum of vitamin D's biologic functions and clinical applications...This book is a clearly written, well-illustrated, useful resource for dietetics professionals, nutritionists, physicians, other health care professionals, and, in particular researchers/scientists with a specific interest in vitamin D."-Journal of the American Dietetic Association
"This book is a comprehensive, highly readable overview of the biological functions and clinical applications of vitamin D and its metabolites. Topics include recent recommendations for vitamin D intake to new approaches for the treatment and prevention of vitamin D deficiency. The book authoritatively reviews the relationship between sunlight exposure, vitamin D, and increased risk of colon and breast cancer." - Lavoisier Librairie
