“As long as food stays in the intestines, it cannot nourish the millions of cells that compose all other parts of the body.”__ Kevin T Patton and Gary A Thibodeau. I‘m not sure why this quote inspires me, but it does.

Mehso-so

I mean...it's a textbook. It's probably not going to be super engaging. But I definitely learned some stuff and found the organization to be overall good. I do wish the glossary was integrated into the chapter review and not just the word origins.

Working at a community college library means access to lots of intro text books - it's like taking all of those classes I didn't have time for in college.
