Composition Data: A User's Perspective
Edited by William M. Rand, Carol T. Windham,
Bonito W. Wyse, and Vemon R. Young
Knowledge of the composition of the foods we eat is of critical importance, and yet, the available data are extremely inadequate. Food composition data play a key part in research and policy relating to public health, dietetics, nutrition, and epidemiology and are crucial to all phases of food production and manufacturing. In this volume, prominent workers in the field pin-point the problems and offer concrete steps to remedying the situation.

Intrahousehold Resource Allocation:
Issues and Methods for Development
Policy and Planning
Edited by Beatrice forge Rogers and Nina P.
Schlossman
Emphasizing the importance of understanding how resources are distributed within the household in order to design successful and effective development programmes, the authors ofthis3-part study first consider various conceptual approaches to the subject, then examine different methods for collecting the information needed for analysing household resource allocation,and,finally,focus on such key variables as how members allocate time, individual food consumption, and household flexibility in adapting to external economic and social changes. Of special note is the sample approach to incorporating household issues into the design and evaluation of development programmes presented in the Appendix.

Positive Deviance in Child Nutrition-with Emphasis on Psychosocial and Behavioural Aspects and Implications for Development by Marian Zeitlin, Hossein Ghassemi, and Mohamed Mansour
Positive deviance refers to children who grow and develop well in impoverished environments where most children are victims of malnutrition and chronicillness.Theseexceptional children are important as examples of successful child care behaviour and community support systems that can be applied when designing policies and programmer aimed at the malnourished. The book features policy recommendations, a guide to future research, and a pilot project model.
