Time Pressure and Stress in Human Judgment and Decision Making
Some years ago we, the editors of this volume, found out about each other's deeply rooted interest in the concept of time, the usage of time, and the effects of shortage of time on human thought and behavior. Since then we have fostered the idea of bringing together different perspectives in this area. We are now, there fore, very content that our idea has materialized in the present volume. There is both anecdotal and empirical evidence to suggest that time con straints may affect behavior. Managers and other professional decision makers frequently identify time pressure as a major constraint on their behavior (Isen berg, 1984). Chamberlain and Zika (1990) provide empirical support for this view, showing that complaints of insufficient time are the most frequently report ed everyday minor stressors or hassles for all groups of people except the elderly. Similarly, studies in occupational settings have identified time pressure as one of the central components of workload (Derrich, 1988; O'Donnel & Eggemeier, 1986).

Grr Cooking
Astrid Keller, the brilliant daughter of a dysfunctional German-Swedish liason, spends her early life sheltered by her academic achievements and immersed in her studies of physics. The attractive young lady pays little attention to appearance and none to men. World War II sends her from Berlin to Stockholm where she completes her studies and is ensnared by her disturbed professor Erich Kialt. The phycicist couple is joined by a third scientist in a quixotc quest to develop an atomic bomb, or at least the blueprint for one. The private and seemingly secret project doesent remain so. Astrid, through bizzare circumstance, is the surviving member of the team. The Taiwan government uses GRR, its decidedly odd spy agency, to chase down the secrets developed in Sweden. The hansome woman has to make a choice about the bomb, her life and a fortune.
Biological Psychiatry, Higher Nervous Activity
The purpose of the World Psychiatric Association is to coordinate the activities of its Member Societies on a world-wide scale and to advance enquiry into the etiology, pathology, and treatment of mental illness. To further this purpose, the Association organizes mono- or multithematic Regional Symposia in different parts of the world twice a year, and World Congresses dealing with all individual fields of psychiatry once every five or six years. Between these meetings the continuation of the Association's scientific work is assured through the activities of its specialty sections, each covering an important field of psychiatry. The programs of the World Congresses reflect on the one hand th...

Women, Stress, and Heart Disease
The issue of women's health has long been neglected. This applies to many medical areas, but it has become most evident in the field of cardiology. For a long time, cardiology has been a medical specialty which seemed to be created for men, by men--particularly in research, but also in intensive clinical care units where male patients have been most visible and dominating. Furthermore, the clinical cardiologists--their doctors--have been predominantly male. It is easy to understand that most women think they will die from cancer rather than from heart disease, but this is not true. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women as it is for men. Female patients are frequently encounte...
