Drawing together the international evidence for environmental
explanations of rising obesity rates in the developed world this
book examines the many ways in which the contexts in which people
live their lives promote an imbalance of energy intake over energy
expenditure. Whilst it focuses on the environmental or geographical
explanations of the 'obesity epidemic', it also demonstrates the
importance of multidisciplinary thinking by calling upon the
expertise of geographers, nutritionists, epidemiologists,
sociologists and public health researchers engaged in
obesity-related research.
