This book is a hardback in excellent condition with no marks or tears. It is missing the dust jacket, but otherwise perfectly fine.
"Why We Get Fat" by Gary Taubes collects recent research and examines older studies on why people gain weight, and what is realistic to expect in today's food environment. Really, why are we gaining weight and what can we, or what should we do about it? That's the question Taubes attempts to answer. He debunks theories such as the simplistic "Calories in, calories out" model, and explains why the way we look at overweight people is horribly wrong and out of touch with scientific facts. Other topics he looks at: People are not fat because they are necessarily lazy, and some people who are fat could never possibly be active enough to lose the fat.
