Today we are urged from all sides to slim down & shape up to shed a few pounds or lose life-threatening stones. The media's relentless obsession with size may be perceived as a twenty-first-century phenomenon but as award-winning historian Louise Foxcroft shows we have been struggling with what to eat when & how much ever since the Greeks & the Romans first pinched an inch.

Combining research from medical journals letters articles & the dieting bestsellers we continue to devour (including one by an octogenarian Italian in the sixteenth century) Foxcroft reveals the extreme & often absurd lengths people will go to in order to achieve the perfect body from eating carbolic soap to chewing every morsel hundreds of times to a tasteless pulp. This unique & witty history exposes the myths & anxieties that drive today's multi-billion pound dieting industry
- & offers a welcome perspective on how we can be healthy & happy in our bodies.

Calum Mac Leod had lived on the northern point of Raasay since his birth in 1911. He tended the Rona lighthouse at the very tip of his little archipelago until semi-automation in 1967 reduced his responsibilities. ' So what he decided to do' says his last neighbour Donald Mac Leod 'was to build a road out of Arnish in his months off. With a road he hoped new generations of people would return to Arnish & all the north end of Raasay'. & so at the age of 56 Calum Mac Leod the last man left in northern Raasay set about single-handedly constructing the 'impossible' road. It would become a romantic quixotic venture a kind of sculpture; an obsessive work of art so perfect in every gradient culvert & supporting wall that its creation occupied almost twenty years of his life. In Calum's Road" Roger Hutchinson recounts the extraordinary story of this remarkable man's devotion to his visionary project." ...
