Book excerpt: This compilation of papers represents a comprehensive study by scientists and professionals of the effects of stress on health, and possible remedies to the problems arising from stress. The sources of stress considered here include work, transport, waste and general environmental factors. Mental and physical health aspects are considered in detail, in addition to the effects of stress on ageing and well-being. The study of stress in animals, which may well tell us more about stress in humans, is also discussed here. In view of the fact that stress in modern life is one of the major factors affecting human health, the volume represents a timely and valuable contribution to the current debate on community health.
