ISBN: 9781617378935 / Angielski / Miękka / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What a journey writing this text has been. The lengthy voyage started well before the idea hatched of authoring a text that contained the word thermodynamics I was informed by my good friend and sometimes colleague Dr. Jose Antonio that by including that word in the title, nutritionists and exercise physiologists might avoid the subject. But almost every step of my expedition was taken on a rather solid foundation of thermodynamics and as such the topic could not possibly be omitted from the title or the text of a book about bioenergetics and energy expenditure. I am not a physicist. In...

The Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity
ISBN: 9781617377860 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Thirty years ago, I published my first monograph on obesity (Bray, 1976). Many things have changed in these 30 years, but many have remained the same. Preparation of The Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity has given me a chance to survey the changes to the field and to present an update of the scientific information. In retrospect, I conclude that a major component of the current epidemic of overweight is not medical, not genetic, not psychological, and will not be effectively treated by lifestyle changes that require individual choices. We are all influenced by the prices of the goods we buy....
