Obesity is a multi-factorial disease, in which an excess of accumulated body fat can reach levels capable of affecting health. It results from an interplay between environmental factors, eating behavior, genes, epigenetics, and neuronal stimuli. The main aim of this book is to provide a state-of-the-art revision about the molecular mechanisms underpinning the development of obesity, reviewing the current knowledge in areas like monogenic and polygenic obesity forms, but also providing an updated view of the emerging knowledge about epigenetics, nutrigenomics, and neuronal aspects that also contribute to obesity.

In this work the author analyses the remains of the settlement of Cssdiz in the Phoenician and Punic period. Since the discovery of the masculine anthropoid sarcofagus in Punta de la Vaca (Cssdiz) in 1887, the investigations into the Phoenician and Punic settlement of Cssdiz have shown the magnitude of the site. This volume investigates the excavations made in Cssdiz that show evidence of the Phoenician and Punic settlement of Cssdiz that was occupied since the 8th century.
