Series Review: Understanding Obesity"By focusing on a single issue (and a timely one at that), this series inspires a keen awareness of the complexities of obesity. The books complement one another but can also stand alone. Consistent through the series is the deference to and citing of experts, inclusion of current photographs, commitment to balanced viewpoints, and overall teen appeal. At the conclusion of each volume, readers are instructed to access the publisher's Web site, which has regularly updated links."
