Nahrung ist ein weites und wohl eben essbares Feld: In der Art dieser Reihe wird die Thematik ''Ernährung'' ausgebreitet. Jede Doppelseite steht unter einem Oberbegriff, in den ein zusammenfassender Text einführt. Die vielen Fotos und kurzen Legenden reichern die Weite und Breite des Begriffs mit Kurzinformationen an. Überschriften sind z.B. Nahrungsbedarf, Kohlehydrate, Fett, Kalorien, Ernährungspyramide, heilende Kräfte, Allergien, Verdauung, Kochen, Essverhalten, Nahrungsgruppen (Fleisch, Milch, Fisch), Bionahrung, Welternährung etc. etc. Die Menge und Vielfalt dieser Fraktionen von Bildern und Kurztexten ist anregend, auf den ersten Blick bereichernd. Daraus konsistentes Wissen zu schöpfen, ist aber anspruchsvoll. Um im Thema zu bleiben: Das Buch ist ein guter Appetitanreger; für den kräftigen Hunger sind eingehendere Informationsquellen zu konsultieren. Ab 10 Jahren, gut, Ruedi W. Schweizer.
