"This is a delightful and detailed synthesis of the current evidence available of the broad effects of stress on Man. It has involved a particularly thorough search of many strata of world literature, but despite its full annotation the narrative never flags in interest, scope or aim. The scene, which shifts easily from the future of the earth to the
biochemistry of depression, is shown as a continuum in which relevant issues and serious developments are appropriately stressed. The result is a comprehensive and absorbing account of Man's
potential downfall and his activities towards salvation, in which opinions are adequately and unobtrusively backed by statistics and references.
It is rare to find a review of this size and intensity,
yet this book shows not only a consistent integrity
throughout but also a down-to-earth understanding of people in their present-day discomfort. It well deserves wide readership and appreciation as a classic of its kind."
