Reviews

'Contributions include a richly international input of knowledge and understanding which extend to other non-military work-stress patterns. These are ever more necessary wherever the new computerised world of technology pushes into business and academia, commerce, the process engineering and construction industries. The need for vigilance and quick, effective decisions in emergency is always there' The RoSPA Occupational Safety and Health Journal, May 2008 'The book is useful to anyone who desires a better understanding of stress and its ability to influence human performance. It is particularly relevent to the military community given the nonconventional challenges in today's battlefields and their increasing complexity. Performance under Stress addresses the subject in a pragmatic way and also offers a detailed and perceptive account of the current limited understanding and prospective future directions of this field of study.' Military Review, September-October 2009
