In the landscape of contemporary public health, the obesity epidemic stands as a pervasive and complex issue that has profound consequences for individuals, societies, and healthcare systems. This book introduces the reader to the dimensions of this crisis, its historical context, and the far-reaching consequences that span health, economics, and overall quality of life.

By presenting a set of empirical studies, this volume provides a basis for comparisons across sectors on such dimensions as school organization, governance, curriculum, and pedagogy in US elementary and secondary schools. It is of interest to administrators and scholars in education and the sociology of education.
