Publisher's Synopsis
The weight-loss essay from the editor, Anna Faktorovich, provides a survey of the frequently cited nutritional research to distill weight loss, veganism, and exercise theory into practical advice for the 71% made up of overweight Americans. The five film criticism essays cover the topics of: violent release comedy in All the Devil's Men, dramatized emotions and racist politics in John Carter, humanitarian extermination and the death-threat in Avengers: Infinity War, the corporate subtext behind the gaming documentary, Playing Hard, and the architecture and politics of gardens in A Little Chaos. The one external contribution is five urban trees photographs from Keith Moul.
