Among the scores of diet books and media reports on the growing obesity epidemic in America, comes a no-nonsense approach to weight loss and long term weight maintenance. Obesity is a Self-Inflicted Wound - Stop Digging Your Grave with a Knife and Fork is a hard-hitting, take no prisoners response to the obesity challenge from a five foot, ten inch West Point graduate, who went from a lean 163 pounds to 210 in less than twenty months. The book describes his personal journey from here to obesity and back. How he allowed his weight to get out of control and the short term tactical plan that took the weight off and the long term strategy that has kept it off for more than 50 years. He challenges you to take charge of your life without reliance on pills, creams, lotions, risky surgery and a multitude of other non-effective programs. The book also addresses the scope and magnitude of the obesity epidemic, confusing and conflicting standards that define overweight and obesity, the multi-billion diet industry with a vested interest in a continuing supply of fat people and the increasing role of federal, state and local governments in the "war on obesity".

Diet books contribute to a $60-billion industry as they speak to the 45 million Americans who diet every year. Yet these books don’t just tell readers what to eat: they offer complete philosophies about who Americans are and how we should live. Diet and the Disease of Civilization interrupts the predictable debate about eating right to ask a hard question: what if it’s not calories—but concepts—that should be counted? Cultural critic Adrienne Rose Bitar reveals how four popular diets retell the “Fall of Man” as the narrative backbone for our national consciousness. Intensifying the moral panic of the obesity epidemic, they depict civilization itself as a disease and offer diet as the one true cure. Bitar reads each diet—the Paleo Diet, the Garden of Eden Diet, the Pacific Island Diet, the detoxification or detox diet—as both myth and manual, a story with side effects shaping social movements, driving industry, and constructing fundamental ideas about sickness and health. Diet and the Disease of Civilization unearths the ways in which diet books are actually utopian manifestos not just for better bodies, but also for a healthier society and a more perfect world.

Once at the centre of the American conservative movement, bestselling author and radio host Charles Sykes is a fierce opponent of Donald Trump and the right-wing media that enabled his rise. Sykes presents an impassioned, regretful and deeply thoughtful account of how the American conservative movement came to lose its values. How did a movement that was defined by its belief in limited government, individual liberty, free markets, traditional values and civility find itself embracing bigotry, political intransigence, demagoguery and outright falsehood? How the Right Lost its Mind addresses key issues that face American conservatives under a Trump presidency. It asks why so many voters are apparently credulous and immune to factual information reported by responsible media. And why did conservatives decide to overlook, even embrace, so many of Trump's outrages, gaffes, conspiracy theories, falsehoods and smears? Can conservatives govern, or are they content merely to rage? And central to Sykes's discourse is the question of how can the right recover its traditional values and persuade a new generation of their worth.
