"Like a good city, Postmodern Urbanism can be read from many perspectives as a rich conversation of world views, languages, and artifacts....It’s a generous and thoughtful piece of scholarship which is unlikely to be superseded." --Charles Jencks Since the 1960s, many architects and urban planners have reacted against the drab universalism and inhuman scale of modern architecture and urbanism, seeking instead to recover a sense of community and place.

In this fresh, frank, funny look at childhood obesity and its treatment, she journeys through diet culture seeking a better way.
