Description

I'll keep this brief. This book consists of about twelve papers, covering topics related to mental performance under stress. There are a number of strong points in this book:

1) works in it are based on studies published in peer reviewed journals, with references readily available.
2) bibliography is chapter based, allowing fairly easy reference to resource author was citing in the text.
3) summary chapter overviews developments in stress modeling.

Chapters vary in their ease to read. First chapter seems to have oversaturation of uncommon words that really are not necessary in an introductory chapter.

Good book to start research on. Highly recommended resource for those interested in modeling mental fatigue.
