In a study published in this month’s Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Mark F.

Professor Gary D. James has devoted 25 years to studying stress in humans. Along the way, he has studied Samoans and New Yorkers, figured out how to gather reliable blood pressure readings during everyday situations and collected untold numbers of saliva and urine samples.

Isbell’s primary interests lie in the origins of political centralization, urbanism and governments. He has done fieldwork in Peru and Bolivia throughout his 35-year career.
