Reviews
This two-volume set of books is the most comprehensive encyclopaedia of obesity that I have read ... Name any aspect of obesity and this book has it covered! Reading it from beginning to end is a pleasurable education, whilst digital access via VitalBook (eBook) on your VitalSource Bookshelf (included in the price) will enable immediate offline access in the clinic or seminar...The book is the product of a huge international college of contributors whose presentations are ably and intuitively orchestrated by the editors. As a comprehensive treatise on all aspects of obesity I cannot recommend it enough. -Jim Young, Editor-in-Chief, Glycosmedia As an obesity specialist, I plan on giving this a thorough reading and recommending it to colleagues ...The book covers prevention of obesity, initial evaluation of the overweight/obese patient (including methods for doing so), medical and surgical options, including lifestyle modifications, and finally the health services/healthcare systems implications of obesity. It is a thorough, up-to-date, and detailed book. ' -Meltem Zeytinoglu, MD, MBA, University of Chicago Medical Center for Doody's Review Service Both these well-documented and well-researched volumes reflect the most current trends in obesity studies internationally ... [they are] highly recommended for academic and medical libraries, even for those that already own a copy of earlier editions. -ARBA
