One of the most famed figures in the psychology field worldwide, the late Richard Lazarus worked with coeditors Alan Monat and Gretchen Reevy to fashion this anthology focused on one area of psychology nearly every person can relate to—stress. A team of researchers presents current and classic findings on the mental and physical effects of stress, as well as the means to manage and cope with everyday stress as well as extreme stress. Included are chapters by Lance Armstrong on coping with cancer and a chapter by Dean Ornish explaining how stress—self-imposed or not—affects the heart.

Today factors ranging from war, terrorism, and disaster to discrimination, divorce, and daily job struggles make all of us painfully aware of stress. This set gives readers across backgrounds a solid introduction to classic and contemporary thought in a field so relevant to successful living. These volumes will also be of interest to researchers, students, and scholars in psychology, health science, psychiatry, nursing, and physical education.

Alan Monat is Associate Dean at the College of Science, California State University, East Bay. He has done consulting and workshops and also taught Stress and Coping for 30 years. The late Richard S. Lazarus was an eminent, internationally known figure in psychology, one of the field's foremost authorities on emotion and stress. He won a Guggenheim Fellowship, was a Professor of psychology for 45 years at the University of California at Berkeley, and authored 13 earlier books. Gretchen Maria Reevy is a Lecturer in Psychology at California State University, East Bay. She has taught Stress and Coping for 11 years.
