"Sapolsky succeeds in interpreting technical material in a way that
leaves readers with an understanding of how the same physiological
responses, so well suited for dealing with short-term physical
emergencies, can turn into potential disasters when chronically
provoked for psychological or other reasons....The author has a way
with words and images....you'll find plenty to intrigue you."
--The Washington Post
"Robert Sapolsky wittily dissects the anatomy of human
stress-response."
--The Wall Street Journal
