Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Heather McLannahan is a Senior Lecturer in Health Studies at The Open University. She followed her postgraduate studies at Oxford with a Lectureship at Liverpool University and then worked on sea-bird behaviour, including feeding behaviour, at the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology in Norwich and gave undergraduate lectures at UEA until a further family move to the Lake District forced a career break. Here she discovered distance learning and became an OU Associate Lecturer, subsequently joining the full-time staff in 1988. Since then she has written about 20 chapters in books for OU courses, many of them co-published. Most recently she was academic editor and chapter author for the Science Faculty's most popular intermediary undergraduate course, Human Biology and has just completed the copublished undergraduate title Visual Impairment: A Global View (copublished with Oxford University Press, 2008, ISBN 978-0199237319) to which she has been the major contributor and academic editor.

Pete Clifton is Professor of Psychology at the University of Sussex and is also an Associate Lecturer with The Open University. He teaches biological psychology, with a particular focus on eating and obesity, to undergraduates in psychology and to medical students within the Brighton and Sussex Medical School. He is author of about 70 book chapters and journal articles. His research is in the area of feeding and body weight, with a particular emphasis on the relevant neural and behavioural mechanisms.
