Sir Robert McCarrison -- Bibliography

12. His appended bibliography, for which the thanks of the committee are due to Mr. T.J. Shields, librarian of the B.M.A., gives some conception of the basis of research upon which Sir Robert's teaching is founded.

Perhaps no passage in his writings better summarises his doctrine than that which is quoted in our Testament.

12+ For his Gabrielle Howard Memorial Lecture, Nutrition and Health, see below.

"
Nutrition and National Health" by Sir Robert McCarrison, Faber and Faber, 1953, republished as "Nutrition and Health", together with two earlier essays, by The McCarrison Society, London, 1982
The Cantor Lectures, delivered by McCarrison before The Royal Society of Arts in 1936 -- a full outline of McCarrison's groundbreaking work in India with national diets and how closely they were reflected in patterns of health and disease.
