Vivir Bajo Presion: El Estres

Casas Hilari, a licensed clinical psychologist at the University of Barcelona, has written a basic introduction to the causes of, symptoms of, and methods to relieve stress. His book defines stress, outlines its causes, and describes how the body reacts to stress. He includes exercises to relieve tension, instructions for meditating, and time management techniques. Well organized, with an easy-to-read layout, short, descriptive paragraphs, and plenty of illustrations and charts, the book will be useful to a wide audience. Each chapter ends with bulleted statements highlighting the main points. This is an excellent, readable introduction to a much-discussed problem of modern life. Highly recommended for academic and public libraries and all bookstores serving readers of Spanish. Yolanda J. Cuesta, Cuesta MultiCultural Consulting, Sacramento, CA
