This review is from: Stress, the Aging Brain, and the Mechanisms of Neuron Death (Bradford Books) (Hardcover)
True. Though probably not for beginners, this book is probably good for anyone with alittle college experience in biology. Sapolsky writes in his normal clear, thoughtful style to explore the affects of stress on the brain. The ability of this book to describe a scientific problem and then explore the experiments and the analysis of experiments to come up with a hypothesis demonstrates the artistry and passion which underlies the scientific experience.

This review is from: Stress, the Aging Brain, and the Mechanisms of Neuron Death (Bradford Books) (Hardcover)
Certainly not for everyone, but if you are interested in either the mechanisms and causes for aging in the major sections of the brain which affect memory, or the interactive effect of neurotransmiters and other brain chemicals on behaviaor and aging, you shouldn't miss this book. It's interestingly written, very reader-friendly, and peppered with bits of sophisticated humor. In style, it even goes Stephen J. Gould one better. Norman Orr
