Several years ago, two of us published a full-length textbook
entitled Nutrition and Immunology: Principles and Practice. The
book was aca demically successful and well received by our peers.
Our colleagues commented that while the book was eminently suitable
for a library, there was still an intellectual need for a more
concise volume on nutrition and immunology for health care
providers and scientists working at the inter face of delivering
therapeutic and/or preventive health care. We agreed and decided
that a book focused on issues relevant to laboratory workers and to
developing countries would be valuable. We invited well-known
experts in their fields to contribute a chapter each and asked that
they err on the short rather than the long side and update cited
review articles rather than original papers wherever possible. The
Handbook of Nutrition and Immunity is the culmination of that
process. Our intention is that the book will grow over time and new
editions will fill identified voids that meet the changing needs of
health care providers and scientists interested in the practical
aspects related to evaluating nutrition and immunology in the
field. The Handbook of Nutrition and Immunity is for those people
working in both adult and child nutrition throughout the world. It
is also of relevance to those in the pharmaceutical and the food
industry who are interested in developing ways to evaluate both the
efficacy and effective ness of their products."
This book is the published proceedings of the Sixth International
Symposium on Trace Element Metabolism in Man and Animals. The
Symposium was held at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific
Grove, California, U.S.A. from May 31 through June 5, 1987. The
decision to hold TEMA-6 at Asilomar was made at TEMA-5 in 1985. The
International Guidance Committee decided to hold the meeting in
California in part to recognize the significant cont i butions made
to the field of trace element metabolism by Professor Lucille S.
Hurley. As such, she was the obvious choice as chair of the local
organ izing committee. One of the principal goals of Professor
Hurley was that TEMA-6 serve as a forum for discussing the use and
application of newer methodologies, such as molecular biology,
computer modelling and stable isotopes, in studies of trace element
metabolism. Based on the comments which the local organizing
committee has received, this goal was achieved. The Symposium was
attended by 275 scientists from 32 countries covering 6 continents.
Twenty-five speakers were chosen for our plenary sessions."
