Book excerpt: Fat is the engaging story of the scientific quest to understand and control body weight. Covering the entire twentieth century, Robert Pool chronicles our evolving evolving understanding of obesity--from being a result of undisciplined behavior to subconscious conflicts, physiological disease, and environmental excess.
