Produktbeschreibung
A sharp, urgent question about what we feed ourselves has long animated the public good. This is a serious, lucid answer from an era when food and health were everyday politics. Encyclopedia Of Diet: A Treatise On The Food Question (Volume V) situates the diet debate in a comprehensive, scholarly frame. Structured as a reference encyclopedia and a medical reference, it surveys nutrition history, public health reform, and the anglo american context of the early twentieth century. Its themes-diet reform, the ethics of nourishment, and the social stakes of everyday eating-are presented with clarity that invites both the curious reader and the disciplined student. The volume reads as a practical guide for medical students and scholars, while offering a vivid window into how historical nutrition texts shaped policy, practice and public conversation. This edition is more than a reprint. Alpha Editions has restored a work out of print for decades, making available a book that is a cultural treasure and a lasting reference for both casual readers and classic-literature collectors. It stands as a handrail through a formative era of dietary thinking, a scholarly beacon for those tracing the lineage of public health, and a rare artefact of early twentieth¿century, Anglo American intellectual life. It is, in short, a valuable, enduring addition to any serious reference library.
