This accessible work is the first in more than seventy-five years
to discuss the many roles of adrenaline in regulating the "inner
world" of the body. David S. Goldstein, an international authority
and award-winning teacher, introduces new concepts concerning the
nature of stress and distress across the body's regulatory systems.
Discussing how the body's stress systems are coordinated, and how
stress, by means of adrenaline, may affect the development,
manifestations, and outcomes of chronic diseases, Goldstein
challenges researchers and clinicians to use scientific integrative
medicine to develop new ways to treat, prevent, and palliate
disease.
Goldstein explains why a former attorney general with Parkinson
disease has a tendency to faint, why young astronauts in excellent
physical shape cannot stand up when reexposed to Earth's gravity,
why professional football players can collapse and die of heat
shock during summer training camp, and why baseball players spit so
much.
Adrenaline and the Inner World is designed to supplement
academic coursework in psychology, psychiatry, endocrinology,
cardiology, complementary and alternative medicine, physiology, and
biochemistry. It includes an extensive glossary.
