human societies for centuries. The dieters' regime is about many
things, among them the control of weight and the body, the politics
of beauty, discipline and even self-harm, personal and societal
demands for improved health, spiritual harmony with the universe,
and ethical codes of existence. In this innovative reference work
that spans many periods and cultures, the acclaimed cultural and
medical historian Sander L. Gilman lays out the history of diets
and dieting in a fascinating series of articles.
