Clinical Obesity
Obesity is a medical condition of multiple causes, associated with a variety of complications, including insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and cardiovascular disease. It has a high rate of morbidity and mortality and has been described as 'the number one health problem in America.' So far, treatment has consisted of various forms of dietary control regimes, appetite suppressants and surgery for the more extreme cases. But in recent years a great deal of research has been carried out into the mechanisms of obesity and interest has centred on a number of new therapeutic strategies. There are novel agents which act on intestinal fat absorbtion by inhibiting pancreatic lipase a...

Appetite and Obesity
This work collates the papers presented at the Conference of the Royal Physicians in 1998 on recent research and views on the physiological, genetic, environmental and psychological determinants of appetite and body weight.

Eco-Economy
In 1543, Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus challenged the view that the sun revolved around the earth, arguing instead that the earth revolved around the sun. His paper led to a revolution in thinking. In Lester Brown's brilliant and invigorating account of the industrial economy, he shows how a rethink of its fossil fuel-based, throwaway ethos is necessary to ensure that it works with, not against, the natural environment. The issue now is whether the environment is part of the economy or the economy is part of the environment. Brown argues the latter, pointing out that treating the environment as part of the economy has produced an economy that is destroying its natural support systems...
The Earth Policy Reader
In this study, the award-winning environmental analyst Lester Brown and his colleagues have charted progress in building the eco-economy - an economy in harmony with the Earth's ecosystems, not undermining them. This edition of the biennial reader highlights 12 key trends, from population growing by 80 million annually, to ice melting, to the boom in use of solar cells. It explains, for example, why wind-generated electricity is emerging as the foundation of the new post-fossil fuel energy economy. It also specifically investigates China's desertification problem, the issues surrounding food production, and the challenge of controlling climate change. Drawing on research and analysis by the Earth Policy Institute, the reader monitors the shift from the old economy to the new.
