Chapters from 27 onward deal with the nutritional treatment of disease of liver, kid- ney, lungs, bowel, and of patients with HIV infection, cancer, and the elderly.Most authors have accepted a challenge to give 'future perspectives' in their field, and common themes recurr.New substrates and drugs will be developed, the efficacy of nutri- tional support will be better tested by randomised controlled trials, and their colleagues will come to see the value of well trained multidisciplinary nutrition support teams.This is a very informative book, written by leading practitioners of the art, but I fear that clinicians who need it will outnumber clinicians who want it.
