The Warrior Dietby Ori Hofmekler
North Atlantic Books 2009; US$ 12.95
Along with the many benefits of leisure-class living comes obesity and its attendant ailments. In The Warrior Diet, Ori Hofmekler looks not forward but backward for a solution–to the primal habits of early cultures such as nomads and hunter-gatherers, the Greeks, and the Romans. Based on survival science, this book proposes not ordinary dietary changes but rather a radical yet surprisingly simple lifestyle overhaul. Drawing on both scientific studies and historical data, Hofmekler argues that robust health and a lean, strong body can best be achieved by mimicking the classical warrior mode of cycling —working and eating sparingly (undereating) during the day and filling up at night. Specific elements from the Warrior Diet Nutritional... more...

Health and Welfare during Industrializationby Richard H. Steckel; Roderick Floud
University of Chicago Press 2008; US$ 39.00
In this unique anthology, Steckel and Floud coordinate ten essays that bring a new perspective to inquiry about standard of living in modern times. These papers are arranged for international comparison, and they individually examine evidence of health and welfare during and after industrialization in eight countries: the United States, Britain, Sweden, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Japan, and Australia. The essays incorporate several indicators of quality of life, especially real per capita income and health, but also real wages, education, and inequality. And while the authors use traditional measures of health such as life expectancy and mortality rates, this volume stands alone in its extensive use of new "anthropometric" data—information... more...
Diabetes and Health Disparitiesby Leandris C. Liburd
Springer Publishing Company 2009; US$ 76.00
This innovative book reframes the traditional biomedical view of diabetes and its principle risk factor -obesity -- from a focus on the body, personal choices, and the clinical manifestations of diabetes to an examination of the social environment. The book emphasizes the importance of community-based approaches to healthy eating, exercise, and reducing the "obesogenic" environment many minorities live in. Liburd chronicles the rise in diabetes over the past 60 years in communities of color, and critically examines why public health action to date to reverse the disparity in diabetes prevalence has been noble, but inadequate. Key features:.: Analyses of the co-emergence of diabetes and obesity epidemics; Initiatives for health policy... more...
