Geographies of Obesity (Geographies of Health Series) pdf
Description

Drawing together the international evidence for environmental explanations of rising obesity rates in the developed world this book examines the many ways in which the contexts in which people live their lives promote an imbalance of energy intake over energy expenditure. Whilst it focuses on the environmental or geographical explanations of the 'obesity epidemic', it also demonstrates the importance of multidisciplinary thinking by calling upon the expertise of geographers, nutritionists, epidemiologists, sociologists and public health researchers engaged in obesity-related research.
