Child obesity is a serious condition that affects children around the world in growing numbers. With obesity comes an increased risk of other chronic diseases as well, making it even more important to understand and treat this condition from a variety of angles. This current volume seeks to understand the phenomenon of child obesity and presents a range of viewpoints on its prevalence, causes, and treatments. The different sections contained within explore the following topics:
- The worldwide prevalence of childhood obesity and its growing effect on children
- The causes of childhood obesity and the complex interactions of genetic, environmental, social, and medical factors that contribute to its development
- Proposed treatments, some intervention-based and others that aim to change how food is marketed and sold to youth
This reference volume offers a comprehensive and thorough guide to a field that is rapidly expanding and points to new directions in research and public policy. Edited by a doctor with extensive experience as a researcher, writer, and medical practitioner, The Childhood Obesity Epidemic is an authoritative and easy-to-use reference that provides resources for researchers in the field, students, and anyone who wishes to gain an overview to this important field of study.

Описание: In Guns and Suicide, Michael Anestis reframes our perspective on gun violence by shifting the focus to suicide. Guns play a uniquely profound role in American suicide, and Anestis explains how they have this effect-not by making otherwise non-suicidal people want to die, but by facilitating suicide attempts among suicidal individuals.

This book examines existing treatments, legislation and research methodology of depression and exposes their limitations, championing psycho-social support as an alternative. Depression, affecting 350 million people according to the World Health Organisation, is almost invariably diagnosed by the criteria of the American Psychiatric Association - a definition which encompasses those with normal emotional responses to stressful life events. Tullio Giraldi discusses recent developments in popular and academic dialogue related to the use of antidepressants and recent increases in depression diagnosis and laments the rise in prescribing antidepressants despite their links to suicide and unfulfilled promises of efficacy and safety. He argues that psychotherapy is a cost effective treatment devoid of drugs' adverse effects. This work presents psycho-social support as an alternative to antidepressants, particularly for less severe cases, and as a more effective strategy for coping with the emotional challenges of today's global reality. Patients, students of medicine and psychology, and professionals of mental health will find this work valuable.

In 1918, a devastating world-wide influenza epidemic hit the United States. Killing over 600,000 Americans and causing the national death rate to jump 30% in a single year, the outbreak obstructed the country's participation in World War I and imposed terrible challenges on communities across the United States.
This epidemic provides an ideal lens for understanding the history of infectious disease in the United States. The Flu Epidemic of 1918 examines the impact of the outbreak on health, medicine, government, and individual people's lives, and also explores the puzzle of Americans' decades-long silence about the experience once it was over. In a concise narrative bolstered by primary sources including newspaper articles, eye-witness accounts, and government reports, Sandra Opdycke provides undergraduates with an unforgettable introduction to the 1918 epidemic and its after-effects.
Critical Moments in American History is a series of short texts designed to familiarize students with events or issues critical to the American experience. Through the use of narrative and primary documents, these books help instructors deconstruct an important moment in American history with the help of timelines, glossaries, textboxes, and a robust companion website.

Описание: The book is a collection of interviews with over 20 former politicians, Communist Party leaders and scholars from countries including Germany, the United States and Hungary, by the Xi Jinping Research Center for Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in the New Era, the World Socialism Research Center and the Institute of Marxism under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
Certain groups of people believe that the varying solutions taken by different countries to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic reflect the essential differences in how different social systems treat people's rights to life and survival, and highlight the advantages and disadvantages of different social systems. The key to China's success in fighting the epidemic lies in the socialist system and the unique advantages of the Communist Party of China in pooling national strength with the people at its centre. The current situation in the world has proved again that the 'community with a shared future for mankind' proposed by President Xi Jinping has a strong reality and urgency. After the epidemic, the crisis of capitalism and the bright future of socialism are just as inevitable.
