Evolving Human Nutrition - Implications for Public Health (Paperback): Stanley J. Ulijaszek, Neil Mann, Sarah Elton Evolving Human Nutrition - Implications for Public Health (Paperback)
Stanley J. Ulijaszek, Neil Mann, Sarah Elton
R1,427 Discovery Miles 14 270 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

While most of us live our lives according to the working week, we did not evolve to be bound by industrial schedules, nor did the food we eat. Despite this, we eat the products of industrialization and often suffer as a consequence. This book considers aspects of changing human nutrition from evolutionary and social perspectives. It considers what a 'natural' human diet might be, how it has been shaped across evolutionary time and how we have adapted to changing food availability. The transition from hunter-gatherer and the rise of agriculture through to the industrialisation and globalisation of diet are explored. Far from being adapted to a 'Stone Age' diet, humans can consume a vast range of foodstuffs. However, being able to eat anything does not mean that we should eat everything, and therefore engagement with the evolutionary underpinnings of diet and factors influencing it are key to better public health practice.

Health Change in the Asia-Pacific Region (Paperback): Ryutaro Ohtsuka, Stanley J. Ulijaszek Health Change in the Asia-Pacific Region (Paperback)
Ryutaro Ohtsuka, Stanley J. Ulijaszek
R1,500 Discovery Miles 15 000 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The Asia-Pacific region has seen great social, environmental and economic change across the past century, leading to dramatic changes in the health profiles of all populations represented in South East and East Asia, Pacific Islands and the islands of Melanesia. This volume considers evidence concerning prehistoric migration, and colonial, regional and global processes in the production of health change in the Asia-Pacific region. Notably, it examines ways in which a health pattern dominated by under-nutrition and infection has been displaced in many ways, and is being displaced elsewhere by over-nutrition and the degenerative diseases associated with it. This book presents a cohesive view of the ways in which exchange relationships, economic modernization, migration and transnational linkages interact with changing rural subsistence ecologies to influence health patterns in this region.

Long-term Consequences of Early Environment - Growth, Development and the Lifespan Developmental Perspective (Paperback): C.... Long-term Consequences of Early Environment - Growth, Development and the Lifespan Developmental Perspective (Paperback)
C. Jeya K. Henry, Stanley J. Ulijaszek
R1,251 Discovery Miles 12 510 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The early environment in which we grow up has profound, long lasting, and often irreversible consequences for us throughout our lives. Stresses due to under nutrition in early childhood can mean that in adulthood individuals are smaller, more prone to disease, and have a shorter life expectancy than those with normal diets. Disease and poor living conditions in infancy and childhood also have profound implications in adulthood. Whilst environmental effects on human growth and development are well documented, the long-term consequences due to processes taking place at the early stages of growth and development have only in past years become a focus of intense study. In this volume, first published in 1996, leading researchers in nutrition, epidemiology, human biology, anthropology and physiology bring together a uniquely accessible source of information on this fascinating topic.

Health Change in the Asia-Pacific Region (Hardcover): Ryutaro Ohtsuka, Stanley J. Ulijaszek Health Change in the Asia-Pacific Region (Hardcover)
Ryutaro Ohtsuka, Stanley J. Ulijaszek
R3,723 Discovery Miles 37 230 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The Asia-Pacific region has seen great social, environmental and economic change across the past century, with great acceleration of change in the last 20 years, leading to dramatic changes in the health profiles of all populations represented in South East and East Asia, Pacific Islands and the islands of Melanesia. This volume considers recent evidence concerning prehistoric migration, and colonial, regional and global processes in the production of health change in the Asia-Pacific region. Notably, it examines ways in which a health pattern dominated by under-nutrition and infection has been displaced in many ways, and is being displaced elsewhere by over-nutrition and the degenerative diseases associated with it. This book presents a cohesive view of the ways in which exchange relationships, economic modernisation, migration and transnational linkages interact with changing rural subsistence ecologies to influence health patterns in this region.

Anthropometry - The Individual and the Population (Paperback, Revised): Stanley J. Ulijaszek, C. G. Nicholas Mascie-Taylor Anthropometry - The Individual and the Population (Paperback, Revised)
Stanley J. Ulijaszek, C. G. Nicholas Mascie-Taylor
R1,676 Discovery Miles 16 760 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Anthropometry is the measurement of human morphology and is used in a wide range of applied and research contexts. In this volume, distinguished contributors including anthropologists, human biologists, physiologists, nutritionists and clinical scientists describe many of the ways in which anthropometry is used, and discuss problems associated with different methods of assessment. Topics include the measurement of growth asymmetry and variability in adult body size, measurement error and statistical issues in anthropometry and the construction and use of growth charts in growth monitoring. In addition, the use of anthropometry in assessments of body composition, physical performance and fitness is discussed. This book will be of interest to graduates and researchers in human biology, anthropology and nutrition. It will also be useful to workers in sports medicine, ergonomics, orthopaedics and paediatrics.

Human Energetics in Biological Anthropology (Paperback, Revised): Stanley J. Ulijaszek Human Energetics in Biological Anthropology (Paperback, Revised)
Stanley J. Ulijaszek
R1,249 Discovery Miles 12 490 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Many aspects of human activity involve energy transfer of some type. Human Energetics in Biological Anthropology examines some of the ways in which measurements of energy intake, expenditure and balance have been used to study human populations by biological anthropologists and human biologists. The book provides an integration of human adaptation and adaptability approaches, placing these issues in an ecological context by considering traditional subsistence economies in the developing world. This is the first volume to present such an integrated approach, and will be useful in the teaching of biological anthropology, human population biology, nutritional anthropology, and third world nutrition at senior undergraduate and graduate student level.
