This volume has been skillfully edited by two of the world's leading experts on body image. Both have had long and distinguished scientific careers which provide the foundation for them to make this particularly practical contribution to the scholarly literature. The editors have brought together the most knowledgeable experts on an impressively wide range of body image topics. Reading the chapters of this book is like having the unique and rich opportunity to speak in person with a leading scholar and have them provide a clear and concise review of the scientific literature that has been the focus of their attention for many years (often decades). This book makes a particularly unique contribution by virtue of its combination of concision, clarity, and comprehensiveness. If you want the "best of" the scientific literature on body image from the people who know, then this is the book for you.
I purchased it mainly as a go-to text to learn by. So far, so good.
This book is not well organized for me. Hard to find things
