Like the first edition, the second edition of the Encyclopedia of
Stress covers nearly every conceivable aspect and ramification of
stress including a wide range of related topics such as neuroimmune
interactions, cytokines, enzymatic disorders, effects on the
cardiovascular system, immunity and inflammation, and physical
illnesses. Over the last decade, scientists have presented
convincing research showing that psychological stress increases
vulnerability to disease. They now understand more clearly that
stress may be the thread tying together illnesses that were
previously believed to be unrelated. Bone loss, increased abdominal
fat, and damaged memory cells in the hippocampus have been linked
to elevated cortisol levels.
Building on the success of the first edition, this completely
revised work surveys the vast amount of research generated in the
past five years, resulting in a substantial revision with over 30%
new material and over 100 new entries. Expanded sections include
Animal Studies, Anxiety and Depression, Drugs, Depression,
Disasters, and Psychological and Other Therapies.
Also available online via ScienceDirect (2007) - featuring
extensive browsing, searching, and internal cross-referencing
between articles in the work, plus dynamic linking to journal
articles and abstract databases, making navigation flexible and
easy. For more information, pricing options and availability visit
