Review
"The best text available for an undergraduate course in stress management."
"Relevant topics and research that will both interest and inform the student reader. . . The smooth, easily readable style, in addition to helpful tables and graphics and interesting examples used to illustrate constructs, are major strengths. This is a book that I see myself adopting."
"Stress and Health is an outstanding reference for my students. The writing style, practical examples and assessments make this book interesting reading. I am impressed with the extensiveness of research reported and developed into the theme. The author's concept of combining stress and health is critical to the lifestyle of college students."
"This text is the best undergraduate psychology of stress text on the market because of the proper breadth and adequacy of coverage key topics in the field. The inclusion of websites is a valuable plus."
"Crisp, clear writing and many examples from everyday experiences. The self-study questions are good, and the addition of websites (which seem to have been selected with care) is very nice."
