This is the third book in Garry Egger's series of books, a medically-based programme endorsed by GPs. The book provides a listing of hundreds of food products broken down by "energy density", a hot topic in weight control research. Regulating the energy density of food that is consumed has begun to supersede previous medical arguments about fat or carbohydrate content as the pivotal factor in weight loss. This is a quick reference listing which can be used in conjunction with the "Becoming Gutless" or "Becoming Slim" weight loss books for men and women respectively.
Becoming Roman: The Origins of Provincial Civilization in Gau
This book studies the processes conventionally termed "Romanization" through an analysis of the experience of Roman rule over the Gallic province of the empire in the period 200 BC-AD 300. It examines how and why Gallo-Roman civilization emerged from the confrontation between the iron-age cultures of Gaul and the civilization we call classical. It develops an original synthesis and argument that will form a bridge between the disciplines of classics and archaeology and will be of interest to all students of cultural change.
