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!

The Handbook is targeted at scientific and clinical researchers in biomedicine, psychology and some aspects of the social sciences including stress and its management in the workplace. The audience would comprise appropriate faculty and graduate and undergraduate students interested in stress and its consequences.

The format of the Handbook will allow access to specific self-contained stress subsections without the need to purchase the whole 9-volume Stress handbook series. This will make the publication much more affordable than the previously published 4-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/clinicians as well as laboratories. In the first volume of the series, the primary focus will be on general stress concepts as well as the areas of cognition, emotion, and behavior.
