Renowned primatologist Robert Sapolsky offers a completely revised and updated edition of his most popular work, with over 225,000 copies in print Now in a third edition, Robert M. Sapolsky's acclaimed and successful Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers features new chapters on how stress affects sleep and addiction, as well as new insights into anxiety and personality disorder and the impact of spirituality on managing stress. As Sapolsky explains, most of us do not lie awake at night worrying about whether we have leprosy or malaria. Instead, the diseases we fear-and the ones that plague us now-are illnesses brought on by the slow accumulation of damage, such as heart disease and cancer. When we worry or experience stress, our body turns on the same physiological responses that an animal's does, but we do not resolve conflict in the same way-through fighting or fleeing. Over time, this activation of a stress response makes us literally sick. Combining cutting-edge research with a healthy dose of good humor and practical advice, Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers explains how prolonged stress causes or intensifies a range of physical and mental afflictions, including depression, ulcers, colitis, heart disease, and more. It also provides essential guidance to controlling our stress responses. This new edition promises to be the most comprehensive and engaging one yet.

A high-born lady of scandalous origins meets a Highlander with seductive designs in this “thoroughly satisfying Regency romance” (Publishers Weekly). The illegitimate daughter of the Prince Regent might be expected to pursue various dubious professions—actress, artist's model, or even courtesan. Victoria Knight, however, has become a governess. It's a respectable choice, until she travels to Scotland to meet her new charges. The younger brothers of Nicholas Kendrick, Earl of Arnprior, aren't children at all. They're brawny, wild Highland men. As for the Earl, he's handsome, guarded, and far too compelling . . . especially for a woman with a dark secret. Nick's unmarriageable brothers require civilizing instruction, while Nick needs a sensible wife. Miss Knight seems to fit the bill on both counts. But he soon discovers there is more to Victoria than he thought. It's not just her notorious origins, or the danger that's followed her all the way to Scotland. It's the fiery loyalty beneath that sedate façade. The real Victoria, is the woman Nick is starting to desire desperately. And what an earl wants, he'll use every seductive means to get . . .
