Obesitas is een aandoening waarmee onherroepelijk steeds meer mensen in de wereld moeten leren leven. Want eenmaal zo dik dat de vetafzettingen tot gezondheidsproblemen leiden, is het gewicht nauwelijks nog terug te brengen. Lijnen, zo is de ervaring, leidt dan meestal tot het gevreesde jojo-effect: men begint met de beste bedoelingen, maar houdt het dieet niet vol, omdat het lichaam zich op allerlei manieren tegen afvallen verzet. Natuurlijk is voorkomen is het beste - dat kan door van jongs af aan gezond te eten en veel te bewegen. Maar die boodschap blijkt lastig te verkopen. De overheid staat hier ook voor een dilemma. Als ze te streng ingrijpt in de 'obesogene omgeving', kan dat gemakkelijk ontsporen in dwang, en in verlies van privacy. Het beste lijkt nog een combinatie aan stimulerende, preventieve maatregelen, gericht op zowel gezondere eetgewoontes als meer beweging. 1. Vruchtbare Venus2.

Meer dan de helft van de Westerse mensen lijdt aan overgewicht. Nochtans was voedingsvoorlichting nog nooit zo goed georganiseerd als nu. Nog nooit werd er zoveel gejogd en gefitnesst. Blijkbaar is de moderne mens niet in staat om zijn lichaamsgewicht onder controle te houden. In dit boek wordt gezocht naar de oorzaak van dit fenomeen. Van onze verre voorouders, die geselecteerd werden in een energiearme omgeving, kregen we een automatisch energiebalansregulerend systeem overgeerfd. Bij hen leverde dat spontaan een normaal gewicht op. Dit systeem is blijkbaar niet voldoende aangepast aan onze moderne, energierijke maatschappij. Het wordt daarenboven verstoord door het beloningssysteem dat ons aanzet om te eten omwille van ons plezier in plaats van omwille van honger. De auteur bespreekt hoe dit energiebalansregulerend systeem en het beloningssysteem werken en stelt daarbij realistische remedies voor. Dit boek richt zich in eerste instantie naar de beoefenaars van beroepen die met de voedingsproblematiek te maken hebben: dietisten, huisartsen en specialisten inwendige geneeskunde, endocrinologen, maagchirurgen, biomedici, landbouwingenieurs, biologen en anderen, maar daarnaast ook naar de geïnteresseerde leek die zelf wil weten waarom zijn harde strijd tegen overgewicht zo moeilijk is en die door deze kennis die strijd met meer succes wil voeren.

This sophisticated book presents new theoretical and analytical insights into the momentous events in the Arab world that began in 2011 and, more importantly, into life and politics in the aftermath of these events. Focusing on the qualities of the sensory world, Maria Frederika Malmström explores the dramatic differences after the Egyptian revolution and their implications for society-the lack of sound in the floating landscape of Cairo after the ouster of President Mohamed Morsi, the role of material things in the sit-ins of 2013, the military evocation of masculinities (and the destruction of alternative ones), and how people experience pain, rage, disgust, euphoria, and passion in the body. While focused primarily on changes unfolding in Egypt, this study also investigates how materiality and affect provide new possibilities for examining societies in transition. A book of rare honesty and vulnerability, The Streets Are Talking to Me is a brilliant, unconventional, and self-conscious ethnography of the space where affect, material life, violence, political crisis, and masculinities meet one another.

Steeds meer kinderen hebben te kampen met gewichtsproblemen. In Nederland en België komt kinderobesitas grofweg voor bij 15% van de kinderen, één op zeven dus. De prognoses zijn daarenboven niet goed, zeker niet wanneer ook een of beide ouders last hebben van zwaarlijvigheid. De kansen op spontaan herstel worden geringer naarmate de leeftijd stijgt. Hoe vroeger de problemen beginnen, hoe langer ze aanhouden, des te groter ook de gezondheidsrisico's. Bovendien rapporteren vele obese kinderen en adolescenten ook psychosociale problemen. Door verschillende instanties wordt ervoor gepleit om het obesitasprobleem duidelijk in kaart te brengen. Er is vraag naar eenduidige informatie. De laatste decennia is er ook meer expertise over obese kinderen voorhanden, waardoor het momenteel mogelijk is om vanuit verschillende disciplines het probleem te benaderen. Het is dan ook de opzet geweest van dit boek om obesitas vanuit deze verschillende invalshoeken te bespreken.Er zijn nog steeds mensen die zich de vraag stellen of ingrijpen gewenst is. Men hoopt dat het er wel 'uit zal groeien'. Vaak is dit uit vrees om meer kwaad dan goed te doen. Toch zijn er voldoende aanwijzingen dat interventies op kinderleeftijd het meest hoopgevende perspectief bieden in de strijd tegen het inperken van de immense obesitasproblemen in de Westerse wereld. Wel zijn er terecht veel twijfels omtrent 'verantwoorde' therapieën. Dit boek besteedt daarom uitvoerig aandacht aan de diverse mogelijkheden tot interventie en kan een goed hulpmiddel zijn voor allen die te maken hebben met (te) dikke kinderen.

Millions of low-income African Americans in the United States lack access to health care. How do they treat their health care problems? In Health Care Off the Books, Danielle T. Raudenbush provides an answer that challenges public perceptions and prior scholarly work. Informed by three and a half years of fieldwork in a public housing development, Raudenbush shows how residents who face obstacles to health care gain access to pharmaceutical drugs, medical equipment, physician reference manuals, and insurance cards by mobilizing social networks that include not only their neighbors but also local physicians. However, membership in these social networks is not universal, and some residents are forced to turn to a robust street market to obtain medicine. For others, health problems simply go untreated. Raudenbush reconceptualizes U.S. health care as a formal-informal hybrid system and explains why many residents who do have access to health services also turn to informal strategies to treat their health problems. While the practices described in the book may at times be beneficial to people’s health, they also have the potential to do serious harm. By understanding this hybrid system, we can evaluate its effects and gain new insight into the sources of social and racial disparities in health outcomes.

Byron K. Marshall offers here a dramatic study of the changing nature and limits of academic freedom in prewar Japan, from the Meiji Restoration to the eve of World War II.Meiji leaders founded Tokyo Imperial University in the late nineteenth century to provide their new government with necessary technical and theoretical knowledge. An academic elite, armed with Western learning, gradually emerged and wielded significant influence throughout the state. When some faculty members criticized the conduct of the Russo-Japanese War the government threatened dismissals. The faculty and administration banded together, forcing the government to back down. By 1939, however, this solidarity had eroded. The conventional explanation for this erosion has been the lack of a tradition of autonomy among prewar Japanese universities. Marshall argues instead that these later purges resulted from the university's 40-year fixation on institutional autonomy at the expense of academic freedom.Marshall's finely nuanced analysis is complemented by extensive use of quantitative, biographical, and archival sources.
