This volume brings together a wide and definitive collection of academic papers on stress, previously published in esteemed international journals. Whilst some of the papers seem surprisingly old (e.g. 1970s) they could be regarded as seminal works and thus justify their inclusion here. Most of the papers are late 1980s or 1990s. The papers are classified into seven sections:

1. 1.

   1 theoretical;

2. 2.

   2 reviews of workplace stress issues;

3. 3.

   3 occupational stress studies (detailing studies on almost every occupational group imaginable);

4. 4.

   4 research methodology;

5. 5.

   5 issues and problems of current relevance;

6. 6.

   6 links between stress and health; and

7. 7.

   7 intervention studies.

This book is a must for academics or practitioners with a special interest in occupational stress issues and who prefer to access primary sources when researching issues.

It is clearly not aimed at managers or trainers looking for intervention strategies or material to read on the train!
