Review title: Relevancy and Humor Make This Science Book Palpable
Product review: This is a great book which explains the causes of stress in western civilization--both physiologically and psychologically.Comparing human civilized life with animal behavior on the savannah, Sapolsky makes the point that zebras need to run like the dickens to avoid being caught by lions, causing them to produce "glucocorticoids" like mad, but then, if the zebras do, in fact, get away, they can relax.Not so with humans, who are under continual stress and have trouble "unwinding." Excess "glucocorticoids" lead to all sorts of diseases, which Sapolsky explains in great detail.A biologist and neurologist at Standard University, he can get quite technical, but thanks to the relevant examples he uses and his great sense of humor, this is one science book that is made palpable to lay readers.
