Review:
I think Dr. Donald Dudley and Elton Welke have succeeded remarkably well in extracting the most important data from the stress literature which has grown to some 120,000 references accumulated in our Library since I wrote my first paper on the subject in 1946. Having devoted all my life to this complex topic, I realize how difficult it is to select what really is practical use in daily life in a light and amusing style . Despite the many books that attempted to do the same (including my own), I am convinced that this volume is among the best and will be of value to a large public and receive the enthusiastic reception it so well deserves.
