Critical Approaches to Food in Children's Literature is the first
scholarly volume on the topic, connecting children's literature to
the burgeoning discipline of food studies. Following the lead of
historians like Mark Kurlansky, Jeffrey Pilcher and Massimo
Montanari, who use food as a fundamental node for understanding
history, the essays in this volume present food as a multivalent
signifier in children's literature, and make a strong argument for
its central place in literature and literary theory. Written by
some of the most respected scholars in the field, the essays
between these covers tackle texts from the nineteenth century
(Rudyard Kipling's Kim) to the contemporary (Dave Pilkey's Captain
Underpants series), the U.S. multicultural (Asian-American) to the
international (Ireland, Brazil, Mexico). Spanning genres such as
picture books, chapter books, popular media, and children's
cookbooks, contributors utilize a variety of approaches, including
archival research, cultural studies, formalism, gender studies,
post-colonialism, post-structuralism, race studies, structuralism,
and theology. Innovative and wide-ranging, Critical Approaches to
Food in Children's Literature provides us with a critical
opportunity to puzzle out the significance of food in children's
literature.

This volume covers topics relating reactive atmospheric chemistry,
pathways for material transport within the atmosphere, and
exchanges with the land, biota, oceans, and solid earth. The
emphasis is on species of relevance to global climate and global
chemical budgets, as well as on the application of geochemical
methods, such as isotope techniques, for deciphering pathways and
rates of material exchange within the atmosphere and with other
reservoirs. The topics covered here have long histories, related to
their importance for problems of global climate change, the ozone
layers, and other global impacts on humanity.
Eating Disorders presents a comprehensive and accessible
investigation of eating disorders, spanning topics such as
historical and cross-cultural trends in prevalence of eating
pathology, biological bases of eating disorders, and treatment and
prevention. It provides an examination of the intersections of
culture, mind, and body, and includes case studies throughout,
helping bring eating disorders to life. This second edition is
fully revised and updated to reflect changes in the DSM-5 as well
as research and practice advances that have occurred over the past
decade. Specifically, the second edition provides coverage of newly
named syndromes, a new chapter on feeding disorders and obesity, an
expanded discussion of RDOC initiative, expanded coverage of eating
disorders in men, a section on mediators and moderators of
treatment response, a section of suggested additional sources that
includes articles, books, movies, and on-line sources for reliable
and accurate information, a new description of cognitive behavior
therapy that outlines what CBT for bulimia nervosa looks like as
experienced from the patient's perspective, and a new discussion of
prevalence and risk of dietary supplements. The book will be useful
in abnormal psychology, clinical psychology, gender and
psychopathology, and eating disorders courses, and as a
supplemental text in courses within nursing, nutrition, and sports
medicine.
Food is a signifier of power for both adults and children, a sign
of both inclusion and exclusion and of conformity and resistance.
Many academic disciplines - from sociology to literary studies -
have studied food and its function as a complex social discourse,
and the wide variety of approaches to the topic provides
multidisciplinary frames for understanding the construction and
uses of food in all types of media, including children's
literature.Table Lands: Food in Children's Literature is a survey
of food's function in children's texts, showing how the
sociocultural contexts of food reveal children's agency. Authors
Kara K. Keeling and Scott T. Pollard examine texts that vary from
historical to contemporary, noncanonical to classics, and
Anglo-American to multicultural traditions, including a variety of
genres, formats, and audiences: realism, fantasy, cookbooks,
picture books, chapter books, YA novels, and film. Table Lands
offers a unified approach to studying food in a wide variety of
texts for children. Spanning nearly 150 years of children's
literature, Keeling and Pollard's analysis covers a selection of
texts that show the omnipresence of food in children's literature
and culture and how they vary in representations of race, region,
and class, due to the impact of these issues on food. Furthermore,
they include not only classic children's books, such as
Winnie-the-Pooh, but recent award-winning multicultural novels as
well as cookbooks and even one film, Pixar's Ratatouille.
