"Robert M. Sapolsky is one of the best science writers of our
time."--Oliver Sacks For the first edition of Why Zebras Don't Get
Ulcers: Sapolsky succeeds in interpreting technical material in a
way that leaves readers with an understanding of how the same
physiological responses, so well suited for dealing with short-term
physical emergencies, can turn into potential disasters when
chronically provoked for psychological or other reasons....The
author has a way with words and images....you'll find plenty to
intrigue you. --The Washington Post
Robert Sapolsky wittily dissects the anatomy of human
stress-response. --The Wall Street Journal
