The virtually universal popularity of caffeine, together with
concerns about its potential pathogenic effects, have made it one
of the most extensively studied drugs in history. However, despite
the massive scientific literature on this important substance, most
reviews have either focused on limited areas of study or been
produced in popular form by individuals with surprisingly little
relevant scientific background. Caffeine and Activation Theory:
Effects on Health and Behavior brings together the leading experts
from seven different countries to provide researchers and
clinicians with the most comprehensive and balanced review of the
scientific literature on the effects of caffeine found anywhere. It
devotes unprecedented coverage to the impact of caffeine on
cardiovascular functioning and pathology, details the
pharmacological properties and neurophysiological effects of the
drug, and thoroughly reviews literature concerned with the role of
this powerful stimulant in mood, task performance, and
psychopathology. This important new book is also the first source
to provide an integrative scientific treatment of the effects of
caffeine consumption on menstrual endocrinology and pathology, as
well as on reproduction. Rounding out the coverage is a thorough
review of emerging research on the possible benefits of caffeine
and catechins in green and black teas. The highly integrative final
chapter provides a clear understanding of what is known about the

caffeine, stimulates and guides future research, and provides
clinicians with the information they need to understand, diagnose,
and treat the effects of caffeine consumption in their pati
