Stress Genetics, Epigenetics and Genomics: Volume 4: Handbook of Stress

The effect of stress on our emotional and physical health can be devastating. There have been significant advances in our understanding of stress genetics and genomics, and the field of epigenetics has flourished during this time, yet many remain unfamiliar with the latest concepts on these topics. This intense public, research, and clinical interest in stress is reflected in our edited Handbook of Stress series, each volume addressing a specific area within the field of stress edited by experts in each subfield. Stress Genetics, Epigenetics, and Genomics, Volume 4 in the series, covers the influence genetics, epigenetics, and genomics have on physiologic stress and provides a quick orientation to the subject for research, clinic, and everyday life. Integrated closely with new behavioral findings and relevance to human conditions, the concepts and data in this volume offer readers cutting-edge information on the genetics of stress. This volume is of prime interest to neuroscientists, clinicians, researchers, academics, and students in Neuroendocrinology, Neuroscience, Biomedicine, Endocrinology, Psychology, Psychiatry and some aspects of the Social Sciences including stress and its management in the workplace from a preventative, diagnostic, and therapeutic perspective. Chapters offer impressive scope with topics addressing the role of genetics, epigenetics, and genomics in stressArticles carefully selected by eminent stress researchers and prepared by contributors representing outstanding scholarship in the field, with each chapter fully vetted for reliable expert knowledgeRichly illustrated with explanatory figures and tablesEach chapter will have boxed how do we know? call out sections that serve to explain key concepts and methodsPriced affordably, this self-contained volume will appeal to readers specifically interested in genetic factors in stress. These readers will have access to volume 4 without the need to purchase the whole Handbook. This represents a significant advantage over the previously published 4-volume Encyclopedia of Stress in which stress subsections were in alphabetical order and therefore required purchase of the whole work INDICE: 1.
