  <default_description>Every day, we wake up hungry. Every day, we break our fast.  Hunger is both a natural and an unnatural human condition. In  &lt;I&gt;Hunger&lt;/I&gt;, Sharman Apt Russell explores the range of this primal experience. Step by step,  Russell takes us through the physiology of hunger, from eighteen hours  without food to thirty-six hours to three days to seven days to thirty  days. In quiet, elegant prose, she asks a question as big as history and  as everyday as skipping lunch: How does hunger work?</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I definitely enjoyed reading this book. It gives new insight into the sensation of hunger. It deals with hunger from many perspectives, including physical, emotional, spiritual and societal perspectives. It shows how hunger has been dealt with in the past and how it is currently being dealt with, an...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/12587110">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was my first non-fiction book in a long time, and it was very informative. I love learning about all of the ways the human body defends itself against disease, and all the in's and out's about hunger itself.

I appreciate the lack of definitive answers to the social problems at the end.
