Behavior, Health, and Environmental Stress
Eight years ago, four psychologists with varying backgrounds but a common in terest in the impact of environmental stress on behavior and health met to plan a study of the effects of aircraft noise on children. The impetus for the study was an article in the Los Angeles Times about architectural interventions that were planned for several noise-impacted schools under the air corridor of Los Angeles Interna tional Airport.

You Can Prevent and Reverse Cancer
Moss is a cancer survivor. Moss' career in sales, marketing and real estate was abruptly interrupted when he was stricken with a highly metastatic renal cell cancer at age 28. He received no satisfactory answers as to "Why?". e.g.."Why me?". 'Why such a radical surgical intervention?'. 'Why is there such limited advice on what to do next?. etc...Thus, Moss spent his next four years not only recovering from his cancer ordeal, but also embarking on a journey in search of better answers that might alleviate both his and other patients' sufferings in the future. Moss has assembled a compendium of that knowledge, which provides the reader an understanding and integration of some basic physiological and life style principles, the application of which can guide the reader to a healthier and longer life.
