This is one of the only books that reads just like a research paper. It's wordy, boring, and has minimal photos. While graphics are not a requisite for authority and while it does provide very solid information, the format is not creative in the least and is incredibly uninspired. Whoever wrote this did so only to make a buck and not to win any sort of prize for imagination. Our professor often laughed at how pretentious the writing was. Not even a pocket dictionary will contain many of the words the author has chosen to use. If you would permit me to use such a word, I would say this book is abstruse.Yes it is. But in all honesty, I did learn a lot from this class. The book did provide much of that knowledge despite paper cuts given to me by Dan Webster himself.
This book thoroughly details the significant theories and studies on obesity!!
Excellant
