Obesity (Perspectives on Diseases & Disorders) [Hardcover]

Tom Metcalf (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 7–10—This book explains what obesity is, provides insight into its causes, and takes a serious look at why it's becoming such an epidemic. Accounts by people who have firsthand experience dealing with being overweight add value to the book. The controversial side of the topic is also touched upon, and is reminiscent of issues discussed in Andrea C. Nakaya's Obesity (Gale, 2005). "Fast Fact" sections, photographs, diagrams, charts, and graphs make the information easy to digest.—Kristen M. Todd, Middle Country Public Library, Centereach, NY
