• Sommario/riassunto: The book looks at people who are living with the disorder, shedding new light on the day-to-day struggle of coping with bulimia. It challenges the stereotypical image of the bulimic teenage girl, revealing that it affects a far wider range of people, and dispelling the myth that ; bingeing involves only food and purging involves only vomiting.

• Nota di contenuto: Development and Evaluation of High Resolution Climate System Models: A Chinese National Key Basic Research Project (2010-2014) -- High Resolution AGCM and OGCM developed in IAP -- Improvements of resolution and physics in both coupled and uncoupled models of BCC -- Multi-models ensemble coupling framework and experiments -- Metrics for gauging model performance over East Asian-western Pacific.
• Sommario/riassunto: This book is based on the project “Development and Validation of High Resolution Climate System Models” with the support of the National Key Basic Research Project under grant No. 2010CB951900. It demonstrates the major advances in the development of new, dynamical Atmospheric ; General Circulation Model (AGCM) and Ocean General Circulation Model (OGCM) cores that are suitable for high resolution modeling, the improvement of model physics, and the design of a flexible, multi-model ensemble coupling framework. It is a useful reference for graduate students, researchers and professionals working in the related areas of climate modeling and climate change.
