Synopsis
Obesity is a rising global health problem. On the one hand a clearly defined medical condition, it is at the same time a corporeal state embedded in the social and cultural perception of fatness, body shape and size. Focusing specifically on the maternal body, contributors to the volume examine how the language and notions of obesity connect with, or stand apart from, wider societal values and moralities to do with the body, fatness, reproduction and what is considered 'natural'. A focus on fatness in the context of human reproduction and motherhood offers instructive insights into the global circulation and authority of biomedical facts on fatness (as 'risky' anti-fit, for example). As with other social and cultural studies critical of health policy discourse, this volume challenges the spontaneous connection being made in scientific and popular understanding between fatness and ill health., Obesity is a rising global health problem.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (1,442)
- u***s (266)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseCD was shipped quickly and very well packed, and seller's communication was prompt and friendly. CD was described as "new," but was actually "like new," since there was no factory wrapping and the case was scratched with a bit of wear and tear. However, the disc and inserts were mint/like new, which is all that matters to me.
- r***t (568)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseRare, signed, first edition, excellently priced arrived expertly packaged, safe and sound and exactly as described. Well done! Bravo! Take a bow! A world-class eBay seller!Sherlock, New Hardcover Book SIGNED by Otto Penzler 80 Stories Sherlock Holmes (#266389790502)
- 4***n (15)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseItem was listed as NEW but arrived in a smashed jewelcase (which fell apart) and more importantly, not factory-sealed. The seller contacted me immediately after purchase to say that it was not factory-sealed, asking "if that was OK." This is tantamount to an admission--without being explicit--that the listing as NEW was fraudulent. When I contacted seller after receiving the item, the seller said that I could return it (presumably at my own expense). This is simply unacceptable.
