"It's rare to find an academic book as engaging as this one. While clearly focused on a specific disease entity, the magnitude of the metabolic disease epidemic coupled with the comprehensive review of the topic this book delivers, should make it interesting reading to a diverse audience." (Doody's, 3 February 2012) "This excellent book must be considered the flagship text in the Wiley series encompassing obesity, diabetes and insulin resistance." (Practical Diabetes, 2011)"In all, the text provides a valuable summary of current knowledge, and it may even convince doubters of the existence of the metabolic syndrome! The information that is provided will be of considerable interest to both applied scientists and clinicians who study and treat the epidemics of physical inactivity and obesity that currently afflict so many countries."
