The Age of Stress: Science and the Search for Stability
In The Age of Stress, Mark Jackson explores the history of scientific studies of stress in the modern world. Medical books The Age of Stress. In particular, he reveals how the science that legitimates and fuels current anxieties about stress has been shaped by a wide range of socio-political and cultural, as well as biological, factors: stress, he argues, is both a condition and a metaphor.
This approach is not designed or intended to deny the reality of stress in people's lives, or to undermine the validity of scientific investigations. Rather, Jackson suggests that if we are to comprehend the ubiquity and impact of stress in our own times, or to explain how stress has commandeered such a central place in the modern imagination, we need to understand not only the evolution of the medical science and technology that has gradually uncovered the biological pathways between stress and disease in recent decades, but also the shifting political and cultural contexts that have invested that scientific knowledge with meaning and authority. In particular, he argues that we need to acknowledge the manner in which our obsessions with the relationship between stress and disease are the product of broader historical concerns about the preservation of personal and political, as well as physiological, stability Medical books The Age Of Stress: Science And The Search For Stability By Jackson, Mark 978. author mark jackson format hardback language english publication year 28 03 2013 subject mathematics sciences subject 2 science general reference the age of stress science and the search for stability jackson mark new condition hardcover payment shipping rates returns the age of stress science and the search for stability condition new author jackson mark isbn 9780199588626 binding hardcover pages 328 publisher oup oxford if you require more copies of a title than we have listed please contact u
