worship the body thin. This distortion of reality and the abundance
of food in the developed countries of the world have spawned an
epidemic of disorders connected to the food. Extremes such as
intensive concern about one's body image and total disregard for it
have resulted in many countries which contain enormous segments of
the population who are either obese and proud of it or bordering on
anorexia nervosa. Unfortunately, these diseases are not trivial in
their consequences, leading sometimes to fatal outcomes and almost
always to a state of depression. Recent research has shown a
startling correlation between obesity and heart disease, cancer,
kidney failure, and numerous other diseases. Anorexia nervosa,
bulemia, and bingeing from a triad of diseases which threaten the
well-being of several million moistly young people. This
bibliography consists of carefully selected citations which have
been categorised for easy access.
This book presents the frightening story behind one of the most
ominous trends in contemporary America. AIDS in adolescents is
increasing at alarming rates yet teen access to HIV prevention and
treatment services is limited and uneven. It seems that apathy and
risk denial are major problems in developing meaningful HIV
prevention programs. This book is based on excerpted materials from
a report of Congress dealing with AIDS augmented with an extensive
subject index for easy access and a bibliography especially
compiled for this edition.
