Stress is a universal phenomenon that impacts adversely on most
people. Following on the heels of "Stress Science:
Neuroendocrinology" and "Stress Consequences: Mental,
Neuropsychological and Socioeconomic," this third derivative volume
will provide a readily accessible and affordable compendium that
explains the phenomenon of stress as it relates physically and
mentally to war, conflict and disaster. The first section will be
dedicated to study of the link between stress and various forms of

Ireland, terrorism in general, torture. The second section will
explore the stress impact of more general physical disasters such
as airline and vehicle accidents, earthquakes, floods, and
hurricanes. The final section will focus on the clinical
relationship between conflict stress and various mental diseases -
PTSD, suicide, disaster syndrome, etc - as well as the adverse
impact of stress on human physical health in general.
Comprised of about 100 top articles selected from Elsevier s
"Encyclopedias of Stress," the volume will provide a valuable desk
reference that will put relevant articles readily at the fingertips
of all scientists who consider stress.
