Description

Volume Five in the Handbook of Stress series offers comprehensive cover of the interactions between stress, the immune system, immune responses, and Inflammation. The volume provides easy and in-depth access to these themes, both for research and clinical practice.

There have been significant advances in our understanding of the interaction of stress, inflammation and the immune response to viral, bacterial and other challenges. Integrated closely with new behavioral findings and relevant to human conditions, this volume offers readers cutting-edge information of prime interest for neuroscientists, psychiatrists, neurologists, neuroendocrinologists, endocrinologists immunologists and general physicians, and researchers, and students, in similar and related themes.

The Handbook of Stress series, comprised of self-contained volumes that each focus on a specific stress area, covers the significant advances made since the publication of Elsevier’s Encyclopedia of Stress (2000 and 2007). Volume 5 is ideal for graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, faculty, and clinicians interested in the interactions between stress, the immune system and inflammation.

Review quotes

"...Volume 5 of the Handbook of Stress series...[covers] multiple aspects of stress and its role and interaction with our immune system and inflammation. …[C]linicians-in-training and graduate students... [along with] other medical providers and researchers... will find this book resourceful. Various topics such as basic immunology, stress and disease, and the interrelationship of stress, immune system, immune response, and inflammation are discussed." --©Doody’s Review Service, 2024, Massoud Mahmoudi, DO, PhD (University of California San Francisco)

He gained distinction through his seminal research discoveries in neuroendocrinology and psychopharmacology published in over 360 scientific papers. Dr. Fink served as President of the European Neuroendocrine Association. His distinctions include Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, Fellow of the Royal Biological Society, Fellow of the Physiological Society, and Honorary Member of the British Society for Neuroendocrinology. Fink was Honorary Professor in the University of Edinburgh, delivered the inaugural Geoffrey Harris Prize Lecture of the British Physiological Society, and the Wolfson Lecture. In 1979 he was awarded the Royal Society - Israel Academy Exchange Fellowship which enabled him to spend a research year at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot Israel. In 2000 he was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award of the International Society of Psychoneuroendocrinology. His membership of learned societies includes Emeritus member of the Society for Neuroscience, the Endocrine Society and the Genetics Society of America. Dr. Fink has edited several scientific books with Elsevier, including Stress Science: Neuroendocrinology (2009), Stress Consequences: Mental, Neuropsychological and Socioeconomic (2009), Stress of War, Conflict and Disaster (2010), the Handbook of Neuroendocrinology (2011), and most notably the 4-volume second edition of the Encyclopedia of Stress (2007) on which this new Handbook of Stress series is based.
