The remarkably lightweight, ultra-premium XXIO Women's 12 Irons offer an exclusive suite of technologies that amplify performance for the moderate swing speed golfer. XXIO bestows the 12 Irons with Rebound Frame Technology, starting with an ultra-thin, extremely fast face. Face thickness, or more specifically thinness, is a pivotal factor in generating distance because it determines how much the face can flex, and 12�s High-Strength Super-TIX-51AF Titanium face measures a scant 2.1mm.� Behind the face, a deep-set groove in the interior of the iron further enhances flex, especially for low struck shots.� The end result is an iron that generates prodigious ball speed and distance. The 12 Irons also feature progressive variable face thicknesses to optimize speed and launch of each iron loft. �Designed for long carry distances, the longer irons have a lower center of gravity, along with a high-density tungsten-nickel weight in the toe to increase MOI and improve stability at impact. On the other hand, the shorter irons higher center of gravity emphasizes pinpoint accuracy. As lofts increase throughout the iron set, the grooves become deeper and closer, enhancing spin for more control and stopping power on approach shots. Unlike many manufacturers, XXIO engineers the entirety of their clubs, all the way down to the grips. �Proprietary Weight Plus Technology positions mass under your grip and behind your hands to help you find the ideal spot at the top of your swing for a more consistent downswing.� XXIO Womens 12 Irons Feature: Ultra-premium lightweight components designed for players with moderate swing speeds Rebound Frame produces extraordinary distance High Strength Super-TIX-51AF Titanium Face is extremely thin for increased flexibility and maximum ball speed Optimized Center of Gravity by loft for maximum distance on long irons and maximum control and accuracy on short irons High density Tungsten-Nickel weight on the toe of long irons for a greater MOI and i

Unique 63 in. x 36 in. teak wood Cordele dining table will upscale any patio or deck. The splay of the legs and the thinness of the slatted tabletop give the Cordele dining table a delicate appearance that belies its sturdy construction.

Thanks to its butterfly-reminiscent design, the Cordele is sure to please. This piece is unique enough to stand out, but its understated elegance is subtle enough to blend in.

A provocative exposé of America's self-defeating war on obesity challenges conventional wisdom regarding the cultural, medical, and political meaning of weight, arguing against the myth that falsely equates thinness with health and explaining why dieting is bad for the health, how the media misinform the public, and the link between racial and body-based prejudice. 35,000 first printing.

Over the past twenty-five years, our quest for thinness has morphed into a relentless obsession with weight and body image. In our culture, "fat" has become a four-letter word. Or, as Lance Armstrong said to the wife of a former teammate, "I called you crazy. I called you a bitch. But I never called you fat." How did we get to this place where the worst insult you can hurl at someone is "fat"? Where women and girls (and increasingly men and boys) will diet, purge, overeat, undereat, and berate themselves and others, all in the name of being thin?As a science journalist, Harriet Brown has explored this collective longing and fixation from an objective perspective; as a mother, wife, and woman with "weight issues," she has struggled to understand it on a personal level. Now, in Body of Truth, Brown systematically unpacks what's been offered as "truth" about weight and health.Starting with the four biggest lies, Brown shows how research has been manipulated; how the medical profession is complicit in keeping us in the dark; how big pharma and big, empty promises equal big, big dollars; how much of what we know (or think we know) about health and weight is wrong. And how all of those affect all of us every day, whether we know it or not.The quest for health and wellness has never been more urgent, yet most of us continue to buy into fad diets and unattainable body ideals, unaware of the damage we're doing to ourselves. Through interviews, research, and her own experience, Brown not only gives us the real story on weight, health, and beauty, but also offers concrete suggestions for how each of us can sort through the lies and misconceptions and make peace with and for ourselves.

Never before Food and Loathing has the intimate relationship between mood swings and food swings been so honestly chronicled. As a bright but chubby girl, Betsy Lerner believed that thinness was the key to success with friends and boys. By junior high, she had precisely divided the world of food into two camps: the dietetic and the forbidden. Becoming a member of the then-fledgling Overeaters Anonymous, she formed a cult-like devotion to the program and lost fifty pounds in a matter of months, only to gain it all back and more. "I am powerless over Hostess cakes," she writes, "and my life has become unmanageable." Her twenties are marked by yo-yo dieting, depressive episodes, and a sadistic shrink who dubs her "the boy who cried wolf." Then, just as Lerner begins to realize her dream of becoming a writer, entering Columbia's prestigious MFA program, she spirals into a suicidal depression and lands at New York State Psychiatric Institute. There, a young doctor helps her take her first steps toward selfhood and unraveling the dual legacy of compulsion and depression. A powerfully rendered story for anyone who has every wielded a fork in despair or calculated her worth on the morning scale.

Is there a resemblance between the contemporary anorexic teenager counting every calorie in her single-minded pursuit of thinness, and an ascetic medieval saint examining her every desire? Rudolph M. Bell suggests that the answer is yes. "Everyone interested in anorexia nervosa . . . should skim this book or study it. It will make you realize how dependent upon culture the definition of disease is. I will never look at an anorexic patient in the same way again."—Howard Spiro, M.D., Gastroenterology "[This] book is a first-class social history and is well-documented both in its historical and scientific portions."—Vern L. Bullough, American Historical Review "A significant contribution to revisionist history, which re-examines events in light of feminist thought. . . . Bell is particularly skillful in describing behavior within its time and culture, which would be bizarre by today's norms, without reducing it to the pathological."—Mary Lassance Parthun, Toronto Globe and Mail "Bell is both enlightened and convincing. His book is impressively researched, easy to read, and utterly fascinating."—Sheila MacLeod, New Statesman

Social historian Seid (USC) offers insights into the root of the problem which is caused by a convergence of economics, aesthetics, ethics, current events, and advances in science and concludes that the preoccupation with thinness, far from counteracting weight problems, in fact contributes to them.

Losing weight and changing your sexual orientation are both notoriously difficult to do successfully. Yet many faithful evangelical Christians believe that thinness and heterosexuality are godly ideals—and that God will provide reliable paths toward them for those who fall short. Seeking the Straight and Narrow is a fascinating account of the world of evangelical efforts to alter our strongest bodily desires. Drawing on fieldwork at First Place, a popular Christian weight-loss program, and Exodus International, a network of ex-gay ministries, Lynne Gerber explores why some Christians feel that being fat or gay offends God, what exactly they do to lose weight or go straight, and how they make sense of the program’s results—or, frequently, their lack. Gerber notes the differences and striking parallels between the two programs, and, more broadly, she traces the ways that other social institutions have attempted to contain the excesses associated with fatness and homosexuality. Challenging narratives that place evangelicals in constant opposition to dominant American values, Gerber shows that these programs reflect the often overlooked connection between American cultural obsessions and Christian ones.
