El libro Introducción a la Psicología Comunitaria recoge alguno de los principales elementos teóricos y aplicados de esta joven y dinámica disciplina. Tanto por la organización de sus contenidos como por su estilo didáctico está especialmente recomendado como apoyo a la docencia, si bien puede resultar de utilidad para profesionales de la intervención psicosocial y aquellos interesados en el estudio del comportamiento humano desde planteamientos ecológicos. Debido precisamente a su énfasis didáctico, el libro presta especial atención a la exposición de los contenidos de una manera ordenada y a la ejemplificación de los mismos con experiencias, programas y ejemplos extraídos de la cotidianeidad.

Given that plant foods are a major component of most diets worldwide, it is unsurprising that these foods represent the greatest source of phytochemicals for most people. Yet it is only relatively recently that due recognition has been given to the importance of phytochemicals in maintaining our health. New evidence for the role of specific plant food phytochemicals in protecting against the onset of diseases such as cancers and heart disease is continually being put forward. The increasing awareness of consumers of the link between diet and health has...
