Review
“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
