Críticas

There are many books on Stress, but [this] covers a much wider variety of interesting topics than most - I'm enjoying reading it. Excellent choice of themes and authors. Good and tight editing. The Key Point boxes are very helpful. Of all the stresses that are described in the book - clearly one will never be a source of stress for [the reader] - Boredom! -- Professor David Copolov, OAM, MBBS, PhD, FRACP, FRANZCP, MPM, DPM, AO, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Major Campuses and Student Engagement, and Professor of Psychiatry, Monash University, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Melbourne and Professorial Fellow, Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health

Reseña del editor

Stress: Concepts, Cognition, Emotion, and Behavior: Handbook in Stress Series, Volume 1, examines stress and its management in the workplace and is targeted at scientific and clinical researchers in biomedicine, psychology, and some aspects of the social sciences. The audience is appropriate faculty and graduate and undergraduate students interested in stress and its consequences. The format allows access to specific self-contained stress subsections without the need to purchase the whole nine volume Stress handbook series. This makes the publication much more affordable than the previously published four volume Encyclopedia of Stress (Elsevier 2007) in which stress subsections were arranged alphabetically and therefore required purchase of the whole work. This feature will be of special significance for individual scientists and clinicians, as well as laboratories. In this first volume of the series, the primary focus will be on general stress concepts as well as the areas of cognition, emotion, and behavior.
