Synopsis

Nutrient Deficiencies explores the critical role of micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, in maintaining health and highlights the far-reaching consequences of malnutrition. It emphasizes that even slight deficiencies can trigger significant health problems, affecting individual well-being and contributing to public health crises globally. For instance, deficiencies in iron, iodine, vitamin A, vitamin D, and B vitamins can lead to anemia, thyroid dysfunction, and impaired immune function.

 
The book begins with a foundational overview of nutritional science, detailing the functions of essential nutrients at the cellular level. It then progresses to in-depth analyses of specific deficiencies, their symptoms, diagnostic methods, and treatments.

 
A key argument is that subclinical nutrient deficiencies pose a significant yet often underestimated threat to global health, supported by epidemiological studies and clinical trials. It examines the impact of socioeconomic factors and dietary habits on the prevalence of malnutrition.

 
Finally, Nutrient Deficiencies concludes with practical strategies for prevention and management, including dietary modifications, supplementation, and public health initiatives. This comprehensive approach makes the book valuable for students, healthcare professionals, and anyone seeking to understand the science behind nutrition and its impact on overall health.

Obesity - The other pandemic of...

Ada Cuevas, Donna Ryan

Obesity is becoming one of the preeminent public health concerns, with prevalence increasing throughout the world.
Covering many aspects of contemporary obesity research, this timely book by some of the leading experts in the field explores issues relating to the biology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of obesity, including childhood obesity. The work is attuned to the needs of those living with obesity, with a chapter devoted to
the harm caused by weight stigma and false narratives around lifestyle choices.
'Obesity, the other pandemic of the 21st century' reviews the available evidence to prove that obesity should be considered not just as a key contributor towards other comorbidities, but as a disease by itself. Importantly, the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on obesity is addressed, which raised the complexity and severity of the obesity and should be a call to action for the prevention and early treatment of this disease. This book has been developed by World Obesity Federation collaborators, and is aimed at healthcare practitioners, academics, policymakers, students, patients living with obesity and all those impacted by the issue.
The research covered in these pages goes some way towards proving that obesity is quickly becoming 'the other pandemic' of the 21st century. Much like any major pandemic, the consequence of inaction is truly alarming.

No Way Down - Life and Death on K2

Graham Bowley

"No Way Down is both a gripping read and a clear-eyed investigation of the hubris, politics, and bad luck that brought on one of the worst disasters in modern mountaineering history." —Michael Kodas, author of High Crimes: The Fate of Everest in an Age of Greed 
 
 
 
"Graham Bowley's No Way Down does a great job of putting you on the mountain. It is a refreshingly unadorned account of the true brutality of climbing K2, where heroes emerge and egos are stripped down, and the only thing achieving immortality is the cold ruthless mountain." —Norman Ollestad, author of Crazy for the Storm 
 
 
 
In the tradition of Into Thin Air and Touching the Void, No Way Down by New York Times reporter Graham Bowley is the harrowing account of the worst mountain climbing disaster on K2, second to Everest in height . . . but second to no peak in terms of danger. From tragic deaths to unbelievable stories of heroism and survival, No Way Down is an amazing feat of storytelling and adventure writing, and, in the words of explorer and author Sir Ranulph Fiennes, "the closest you can come to being on the summit of K2 on that fateful day."
