"This study concentrates on how the condition of obesity was viewed, studied, and treated from 1850 to 1939. It examines the images and stereotypes that were associated with fatness, the various remedies that were proposed for the condition, and the often bizarre theories that were proposed to explain obesity"--Provided by publisher.
