All forms of life require food materials in certain minimum amounts to insure an active life and successful reproduction. Nutrition is concerned with what these materials are, how they function, what effects they have when absent and what happens to them when ingested. During the past two centuries such nutritional disorders as scurvy, beriberi, rickets and pellagra have been discovered, successfully treated and eradicated by physicians in developed countries. In this century, such noted researchers as Rose, Meyerhof and Krebs have contributed enormously to the field of nutrition. Currently, research is evolving new concepts and facts so rapidly that the average practitioner can hardly keep current, even in his own field of medicine. Bona fide research by universities and governmental agen cies has produced voluminous information, much of which seems contra dictory and therefore tends to confuse the general public, particularly in the area of potential carcinogens. This confusion has prompted consumer groups, politicians, and social welfarists to bring pressures and demands on medical schools and prac titioners of medicine to increase their knowledge and concern in the field of nutrition. Taking advantage of and adding to this confusion are the health food faddists and cultists, some only for monetary gain and others with a real religious zeal.

Accueilli par des éloges unanimes dans son édition d''origine en langue anglaise, Revolution in the Head nous replonge dans ce qui constitue le coeur de l''héritage des Beatles : leurs disques. Dans cet ouvrage aussi ambitieux que captivant, reconnu d''ores et déjà comme une référence absolue en matière d''analyse critique de la musique populaire, les chansons inoubliables des Beatles sont une présence à la fois centrale et constamment surprenante. Fort d''une connaissance intime de l''oeuvre du groupe, mais aussi de son arrière-plan culturel et historique, lan MacDonald nous aide à décrypter chacun des quelque 241 morceaux que compte la discographie des Beatles — dans l''ordre chronologique, des tout premiers enregistrements amateurs de 1957 aux deux chansons de la " reformation " de 1994-1995, sans oublier les nombreux inédits publiés dans le Live At The BBC et les trois volumes de la série Anthology.Aussi éblouissants que cette décennie qu''ils auront marquée de leur empreinte, les Beatles ont inventé, à eux seuls ou presque, la pop music telle que nous la connaissons. Leurs chansons sont, aujourd''hui encore, revendiquées comme une influence fondatrice par les groupes et chanteurs les plus en vue.
