Stress is one of the most widely utilized medical concepts in modern society. Originally used to describe physiological responses to trauma, it is now applied in a variety of other fields and contexts, such as in the construction and expression of personal identity, social relations, building and engineering, and the various complexities of the competitive capitalist economy. In addition, scientists and medical experts use the concept to explore the relationship between an ever increasing number of environmental stressors and the evolution of an expanding range of mental and chronic organic diseases, such as hypertension, gastric ulcers, arthritis, allergies, and cancer. This edited volume brings together leading scholars to explore the emergence and development of the stress concept and its definitions as they have changed over time. It examines how stress and closely related concepts have been used to connect disciplines such as architecture, ecology, physiology, psychiatry, psychology, public health, urban planning, and a range of social sciences; its application in different settings such as the battlefield, workplace, clinic, hospital, and home; and the advancement of techniques of stress management in a number of different national, sociocultural, and scientific locations.

"The creation of this book was guided by a kind of gut-level awareness that the study of human behavior in disaster had progressed to the point when it should be subjected to the most pertinent and reliable methodological and theoretical evaluations. It was assumed that the scientific community as well as operational agencies would benefit from the codification of the knowledge from the completed research. The announced purpose of this book is for methodological and theoretical codification of social research on disaster. Also, to appraise the current state of our knowledge in this field"--Create.
