Obesity

A Reference Handbook

By: Judith S. Stern,Alexandra Kazaks

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in countries like the United States. This book provides a comprehensive summary of obesity in America and around the world, discussing the causes and proposing ways to help stem the tide and to help those who are overweight. A highly useful and accessible resource for high school to undergraduate students as well as post-graduate level readers with an interest in health and nutrition, this updated second edition of Obesity: A Reference Handbook offers up-to-date answers to essential questions about obesity and connected societal and health care-related issues. A single-volume, go-to resource, this book addresses difficult questions such as whether obesity is a disease or a moral failing; what factors contribute to obesity; what the economic impacts of obesity are on the health care industry; if and how poverty is a contributor to obesity; how our society encourages obesity; and how changes can be made to improve our society's eating habits as a whole. It presents citations from individuals and peer-reviewed journals and review articles, providing a balance of information sourced from both professionals and informed lay commentators. Also included are dozens of biographies of individuals who have been important in studying, preventing, managing, or increasing awareness about obesity, such as Jared Fogle, longtime Subway sandwiches spokesperson; Kelly Brownell, who coined the phrase "toxic environment" to describe unhealthy food and exercise patterns; researcher Ethan Allen Sims, who examined the relationship between obesity and diabetes; and Oprah Winfrey, well-known celebrity who stated that if there were a pill to lose weight or a magic diet, she would have it.

Implementing Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) in Classrooms and Schools

By: Marc A. Brackett,Robin S. Stern,Dena N. Simmons,Nicole A. Elbertson

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. Research shows that social and emotional skills are prerequisite to the thinking and learning skills that comprise the time-honored academic focus of education. A study published in 2015 found significant correlations between SEL skills of children in kindergarten and important outcomes when these kindergartners became young adults, including differences in mental health, substance abuse, criminal activity, education, and employment. This 6-page, quick-reference laminated guide by Marc Brackett and colleagues at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, provides educators with an introduction to SEL, guidelines for effective implementation of SEL in your classroom and school, an introduction to the RULER approach to SEL, strategies to promote your own social and emotional wellbeing, and a classroom SEL evaluation tool.

How to Stay Slim and Healthy on the Fast Food Diet

By: Judith S. Stern,R. V. Denenberg

Abstract: The guilt-afflicted fast food fancier now has access to information on the nutrient content and composition of the offerings of the major fast food chains, and can plan a nutritious daily menu of around 1200 calories which includes a cheeseburger and french fries. The standards for nutritional adequacy in the diet and the specific contributions of fast foods are discussed, as well as additives commonly used to retard spoilage or enhance flavor and appearance. The drawbacks of fad diets are enumerated; encouragement of sensible habits and changed attitudes is offered instead, based on self analysis, better nutrition knowledge, and exercise. The drinks, salad ingredients, condiments, and specialties of 24 chains from Arby's to White Castle are analyzed for protein, fat, and carbohydrate, and the percentage of contribution to caloric content. A 1-week diet plan offers a reasonably balanced daily intake including a fast food meal, that should result in up to 3 pounds weight loss per week.

Grandparents Raising Grandchildren

Grandparents Raising Grandchildren

Potential for Reducing Parenting Stress Through the Step Parent Training Program

By: Laurie S. Stern

In 2000, 5.7 million grandparents lived with their grandchildren and approximately 2.4 million of these individuals were raising their grandchildren (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 2001). There has been a growing trend of grandparents assuming the responsibility of caring for their grandchildren due to many factors, most commonly, divorce, substance abuse, incarceration, HIV/AIDS and child abuse or neglect. Currently, there are relatively limited supports in place to offer these grandparents. This new assumed parenting role is coupled with a changing society, elapsed time since they were themselves parents, and the associated familial stressors. Therefore, parenting classes, including psychoeducation and social support, are needed to assist grandparents with their new role. This dissertation is an exploratory study that examines the stress of grandparents raising their grandchildren, and the potential benefits of parenting classes. Grandparents involved with the City of Hartford Grandparent Program received seven weeks of the STEP parent education curriculum in addition to two initial introductory classes. Baseline, follow-up, and one month follow-up data were collected using self report measures. T-tests and correlation analyses were run to explore changes in parenting stress. Subjects showed a decrease in clinically significant levels of stress following the intervention; some of these changes were maintained at one month follow-up. Attendance was a significant variable. Anecdotal reports from the grandmothers were discussed. Limitations such as small sample size and lack of control group are discussed within the context of these results.

A Lifetime Worth Remembering

New York City 1920 to 1960

By: Roxanne S. Stern,Stanley R. Graham

This work can be called a "contextual memoir". It is an attempt to link the life experience of one native-born New Yorker, Stanley R. Graham, to the historically significant events and developments in this world class city between 1920 and 1960; i. e., the construction of skyscrapers, the 1939 World's Fair, the speakeasy culture, the evolution of jazz greats such as Frank Sinatra, World War II, and the evolution of the advertising industry. Read this work to find what it was like to have been born and educated, and to have worked half a career in a fledgeling industry, in a significant American city.
