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.- Offers chapters with impressive scope, covering topics including the interactions between stress, cognition, emotion and behaviour- Features articles carefully selected by eminent stress researchers and prepared by contributors representing outstanding scholarship in the field- Includes rich illustrations with explanatory figures and tables- Includes boxed call out sections that serve to explain key concepts and methods- Allows access to specific self-contained stress subsections without the need to purchase the whole nine volume Stress handbook series
