| Summary |
Food Intake and Energy Expenditure is an integrated collection of essays on current problems in the field of ingestive behavior. Its strength and uniqueness lie in the selection of topics brought together by a group of authors who understand the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to the problem of energy cycling at the level of the individual animal or human subject. A complete understanding of this problem involves not only behavioral and metabolic processes occurring in the experimental subject as a whole, but also in the processes occurring at two distant ends of the organismic axis, i.e., the cellular/molecular coupled with the evolutionary. Because behavior of individual subjects frequently occurs in a social environment milieu, the special problems of studying food intake and energy expenditure in a social context and customary environment are incorporated. Although topics in the individual chapters enable the reader/student to pursue a particular area in depth, the editors have shown the interconnections among them so vital for a full understanding of the problems. This book can provide the basis for a course on the regulation of energy balance that would be appropriate to a number of disciplines, such as biology, physiology, psychology, and nutrition. Food Intake and Energy Expenditure represents four different research lines, clearly separated into the four different parts of the book, in a way that research findings, conclusions, interpretations and discussions are translated into education, with different views on the same topics. We believe this approach to be more valuable and more direct to students, rather than the more traditional method of teaching concepts and facts |
