The RAP special volume 28 presents 35 well-written chapter-all peer-reviewed, evidence-based and state-of-the-art—contributed by 45 experts drawn from India and abroad. Each and every chapter reviews the depth and breadth of knowledge in some aspect of child nutrition with special reference to the Indian subcontinent. The contents are stimulating, mature and, at places, provocative for encouraging further discussion, research and innovation. The book with a multidisciplinary approach in a holistic and easy-to-grasp manner provides an academic feast that contributes to the RAP series goal of translating pediatric advances from benchside to bedside, nay to the community at large, the eventual beneficiary.
