"Although recognised clinically for some time as an important condition that increases risk of ill-health in affected individuals, it is only recently that obesity had been recognised as a population-wide problem that requires preventive action. Obesity is a major contributor to diseases and disability, the associated health costs are enormous and obesity has already reached epidemic proportions in many countries, and incidence is continuing to increase in children and adults. Disturbingly the epidemic is not confined to developed countries, with many developing countries and those in transition affected. This edition not only provides a thorough update of the material presented in the previous edition (entitled Obesity Prevention and Public Health), but also includes twelve new chapters that cover the epidemiology of obesity in children and adults, and the potential of public health approaches to its prevention. This book will be of interest to all those working in public health and epidemiology; health policy makers, and clinicians and health practitioners working in the related fields of nutrition, exercise and diabetes.About the seriesBy looking at public health issues from a unique condition-based approach, the innovative From Aetiology to Public Health series examines top public health issues from aetiology through to public health and prevention"--Provided by publisher. While recognised as a major population health problem, our understanding of the causes of the epidemic is poor, there has been relatively little population-based research that has focused on the prevention of unhealthy weight gain, and as a consequence knowledge regarding how and where best to intervene is limited.Revised and updated and now part of the From Aetiology to Public Health series, Obesity Epidemiology provides a scholarly text that assists those concerned with understanding prevalence and trends in obesity; its health, social and economic consequences, the underlying causes of the obesity epidemic, the existing evidence regarding strategies to prevent obesity, and the potential of public health initiatives to impact on the population prevalence of obesity.

The claim that marriage is a path to holiness at first seems striking only for its banality. What Christian after Vatican II would question that is so? And yet David Crawford in this study uncovers the ambiguity harbored in such a claim. To be sure, each of the spouses is called to the way of perfection found in the sequela Christi; but is each so called only as an individual, or is the marriage state as such a way of perfection? Crawford argues that the dominant trends in neither preconcilair nor postconciliar trought enable us consistently to defend an interior relationship between marriage as such and the following of Christ. He finds the key to realizing this interior relationship of "nature and grace". Important for Crawford is de Lubac's notion of "paradox", whereby the fundamental desire of human nature is instrinsically oriented to othercenterdness - and as such is already nuptial in character. Thus the desire of human fulfillment that is basic to "nature" carries an innate dynamic for self-emptyng, a paradox embodied in marriage and consecrates virginity in distinst but "circumincessive" ways.
