"...represents an up to date and comprehensive review of both theoretical and empirical advances in this area....Each chapter is well structured and accompanied by an extensive reference list making this an invaluable source of material for both researchers and practitioners....This volume represents a significant addition to the literature and the authors are to be commended for their lucid writing and digestible summaries of their domains."

"Salas, Driskell, and Hughes provide a useful general introduction in which they set out a four-state model of stress and performance that defines inputs, the appraisal process, performance expectations, and outcomes including physiological, emotional, social, cognitive, and performance components."
