We start the year with an unusual addition to our stock at Poole Hospital!
“The energy glut: climate change and the politics of fatness” discusses how obesity is a political rather than personal problem and presents a novel look at 2 of the biggest public health challenges of this century. The author is professor of public health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Available to borrow – do check the book catalogue at www.swims.nhs.uk for availability.
