"This book is vital to physicians in the clinical setting and also to biological and psychiatric researchers…" (Electric Review, February/March 2007)

"...not only a book for clinicians and biologists, it is useful for students, including medicine and public health." (Journal of Comparitive Human Biology, Vol. 58/4)

This outstanding book provides a comprehensive overview of the vast public health challenges posed by stress. Editors Arnetz and Ekman, international experts in stress medicine and neurochemistry, have recruited a stellar list of contributors who clearly and authoritatively describe how stress has measurable molecular, cellular, metabolic, behavioral, organizational, and societal consequences. Moreover, this fine volume also offers important and novel insights into the diverse paths for potential interventions, from individual to organizational. The depth and breadth make this an essential book for students, researchers, and practitioners.
