The Nutritional Psychology Of Childhood (PDF)
by Robert DrewettThe Nutritional Psychology of Childhood is a systematic account of research on the psychological aspects of nutrition in children from birth to adolescence. It deals with two major themes: the development of eating and the effects of malnutrition on the developing child. Robert Drewett discusses the developmental problems that arise with eating and food intake, including nursing and weaning in infancy, the handling of solids and the development of food choice and eating habits. Nutritional problems are considered in children born preterm or small for gestational age, or whose growth is poor, in children who are iron deficient or more generally malnourished, and in children with physical illnesses, including phenylketonuria and cerebral palsy. The development of eating disorders and obesity are also considered. Drawing on research from both developing and industrialised countries, this book will be of interest to students, researchers and professionals in psychology, nutrition and child health.

by Marrena LindbergIt's been written about in Elle magazine and the Telegraph, mentioned in Forbes and joked about on the Tonight show - a sure sign that something has entered the cultural zeitgeist. Now for the millions of women unable to reach orgasm, or for those who want to improve their sex lives, here is a groundbreaking nutrition and exercise plan to bring women to orgasm for the first time - and every time they have sex! The Orgasmic Diet, by Marrena Lindberg, is designed to regulate a woman's brain chemistry and body functioning and bring her to mind-blowing orgasm. It achieves this through four easy-to-adapt elements including: a diet low in carbohydrates that avoids 'orgasm killers' like refined sugar and caffeine; high doses of fish oils, vitamin C and dark chocolate; internal exercises that go far beyond Kegels; and maintenance of serotonin and dopamine levels. Unlike other orgasm books, which just focus on new positions to try or psychological issues, here is the first-ever scientifically supported nutritional and exercise programme to improve female libido and orgasmic ability.

Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters: The Frightening New Normality of Hating Your Body
by Courtney MartinBased on extensive research and in-depth interviews with women from various socio-economic backgrounds, Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters lays bare a stark new world culture of eating disorders, food and body issues that affect virtually all of today's women. Though eating disorders first came to be recognised about 25 years ago, Martin's book shows how the issues surrounding body image have only become more complex, more dangerous and more difficult to treat. The current 'epidemic' of obesity is simply the flip side of the same coin. Drawing from interviews with sufferers, psychologists, nutritionists, and other experts, Courtney Martin's book reveals a whole new generation of 'perfect girls' who have been conditioned from a young age to over-achieve, self-sacrifice, and hate their own bodies - this, despite being raised by a generation of mothers well-versed in the lessons of feminism. Filled with vivid and often heartbreaking personal stories, Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters is both a shocking expos and call to arms, offering hope for a new beginning, one young girl at a time.
