Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This handbook brings together an international group of experts to
offer a comprehensive resource on occupational stress. Including
both theoretical and practical perspectives, it examines ways to
reduce and treat stress, as well as the physiological,
psychosocial, and neural underpinnings of it. Through 24 original
and carefully selected essays, the authors offer new insights,
resources, and tools to better understand, manage and treat stress
in a professional environment. The book’s chapters are divided
into 5 parts that address the conceptualisation of stress; present
theoretical models (including the contribution of animal models);
examine the psychological and physiological aspects of stress and
ways to assess it; delve into psychosocial risks at work and their
assessment (means and methods); and investigate how to cope with
stress at work, including resilience training. Aspects such as the
effects of leadership, simulation training, and stress-tests for
hiring are also presented and discussed. The volume ends by
exploring broader considerations regarding stress and culture,
stress and occupational sectors (with a chapter focusing on
studentship), and the pharmacology of stress. This handbook is an
essential reference for researchers in organisational psychology,
as well as business and management and education, who are
interested in stress. Healthcare workers and therapists who treat
stress will also find an invaluable resource in this far-reaching
yet accessible collection.
James Erskine-Murray (1868 1927) was a Scots expert in wireless
technology who studied under Lord Kelvin for six years at Glasgow
University before arriving at Trinity College, Cambridge as a
research student. He eventually became a telegraphy consultant and
published this work in 1907. Its aim was to inform engineers,
students, and radio operators about many aspects of a rapidly
changing technology. The book covers recent developments of the
time, and a whole chapter is dedicated to the issue of
transmission. Erskine-Murray also provided a chapter of tables
containing data which he calculated himself and which had not
appeared in print before. The work stands as a classic in the field
of early engineering texts, and offers contemporary students and
radio enthusiasts a useful guide to early wireless technology.
