"Robert M. Sapolsky is one of the best science writers of our
time."--Oliver Sacks "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
