In his analysis, Brownell is balanced but bold, courageous and creative. A public health landmark.&#8221; --David A. Kessler, M.D., Dean, Yale School of Medicine, Former Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration</p> <p>&#8220;We are indeed involved in a food fight. It is a fight for the health of America---especially our children. This book provides much of the necessary ammunition to win this fight.&#8221; --David Satcher, M.D., Ph.D., former Surgeon General, Director of the National Center for Primary Care, Morehouse School of Medicine</p> <p>&#8220;Provides a compelling approach to reverse the obesity epidemic now gripping our nation. Anyone concerned about this crisis, and that should include all Americans, will find this book enlightening.&#8221; --Walter C. Willett, M.D., Dr.P.H., Chair, Department of Nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health</p> <p>&#8220;Food Fight is a very informative, provocative, and well-written account of the role of food in the growing public health problem of obesity. I highly recommend it.&#8221; --Steven N. Blair, P.E.D., President and CEO, the Cooper Institute</p> <p>&#8220;<i>Food Fight</i> rings the alarm to enlist Americans in an effort to protect children from the &#8216;toxic environment&#8217; that is leading to skyrocketing rates of obesity and other health problems.&#8221; --Michael F. Jacobson, Ph.D., Executive Director, Center for Science in the Public Interest</p> <p>&#8220;Kelly Brownell and colleagues were among the first to sound the alarm, that an increasingly "toxic environment" puts everyone, and especially children, at risk for obesity. Food Fight enters the front lines in the battle between public health and private profit.&#8221; --David S. Ludwig, M.D., Ph.D., Director, Obesity Program, Children&#8217;s Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School</p> <p><b>How America is eating itself into a national health crisis and what we can do about it</b></p> <p>In <i>Food Fight, </i>one of the world's best-known and most respected experts on nutrition, obesity, and eating disorders delivers the sobering message that America is quickly succumbing to a "toxic" food environment guaranteed to produce obesity, disability, and death.</p> <p>Dr. Kelly D. Brownell goes beyond the bestselling <i>Fast Food Nation </i>to explore the roots of the obesity epidemic and the enormous toll it is taking on the nation's health, vitality, and productivity. And he offers an unflinching assessment of a culture that feeds its pets better than its children, that targets the poor and children as a market for high-calorie, low-nutrition junk food and manipulates children into poor eating habits with toy giveaways and in-school promotions.</p> <p>But <i>Food Fight </i>isn't all bad news. It is also an inspiring call to action from one of the nation's most effective public health advocates. Dr. Brownell suggests bold public policy initiatives for stemming the rising tide of obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, such as imposing taxes on junk food and using the proceeds to make healthy foods more affordable and available. He describes steps individuals can take to help safeguard their and their families' health, including pressuring schools to remove junk food vending machines. And he offers a workable plan for improving individual and family eating and exercise habits.</p> . more information

William Morrow. Very Good; Hardcover in Very Good dust jacket; Some light edge bumping and . shelf rubs.. 2001. Fifth Printing. Internally as new clean copy. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 289 pp; <I>Unholy Ghost</I> is a unique collection of essays about depression that, in the spirit of William Styron's Darkness Visible, finds vivid expression for an elusive illness suffered by more than one in five Americans today. Unlike any other memoir of depression, however, <I>Unholy Ghost</I> includes many voices and depicts the most complete portrait of the illness. Lauren Slater eloquently describes her own perilous experience as a pregnant woman on antidepressant medication. Susanna Kaysen, writing for the first time about depression since <I>Girl, Interrupted,</I> criticizes herself and others for making too much of the illness. Larry McMurtry recounts the despair that descended after his quadruple bypass surgery. Meri Danquah describes the challenges of racism and depression. Ann Beattie sees melancholy as a consequence of her writing life. And Donald Hall lovingly remembers the "moody seesaw" of his relationship with his wife, Jane Kenyon.<P>The collection also includes an illuminating series of companion pieces. Russell Banks's and Chase Twichell's essays represent husbandand-wife perspectives on depression; Rose Styron's contribution about her husband's struggle with melancholy is paired with an excerpt from William Styron's <I>Darkness Visible;</I> and the book's editor, Nell Casey, juxtaposes her own essay about seeing her sister through her depression with Maud Casey's account of this experience. These companion pieces portray the complicated bond -- a constant grasp for mutual understandingforged by depressives and their family members.<P>With an introduction by Kay Redfield Jamison, <I>Unholy Ghost</I> allows the bewildering experience of depression to be adequately and beautifully rendered. The twenty-two stories that make up this book will offer solace and enlightenment to all readers. . more information
