Sommario/riassunto

Steels represent the most widely-used metallic alloy, possessing a wide range of microstructures and mechanical properties.  By examining the mechanical properties of steels in conjunction with microstructure this book provides a valuable description of the development and behaviour of these materials - the very foundation of their widespread use.  Updated throughout and including new chapters on nanostructured steels, and new alloys and technologies for the energy and automobile industries, the book is clearly written and illustrated, with extensive bibliographies and real-life examples.  An

History of obesity -- What is obesity? -- What causes obesity? -- Complications of obesity -- Prevention and treatment of obesity -- Economic costs of obesity -- What's next?

Sommario/riassunto

What makes obesity a disease instead of just a matter of overeating? What are the genetic and environmental factors behind it? What new breakthroughs are being developing to combat it? This concise, information-rich volume looks at these and other important questions, clearing away misconceptions about this devastating condition.||Obesity explains what scientists now know about the causes and consequences of being overweight, including the latest on the links between obesity and heart disease, diabetes, some cancers, asthma, and sleep difficulties. The book pays specific attention to the probl
