Early civilizations were extremely cruel. Many wars were fought for territory and control. The concept of religion surfaced in order to establish ethical and moral standards that would bring peace, order, and civility to a violent world. The first pioneers in this effort were Abram and Sarai, who attempted to establish the Jewish religion. This book describes the four-thousand-year-old struggle to achieve this goal, a work in progress to this day, as Judaism still strives and as other religions have surfaced over time. Will civilization ever reach religion's ultimate goal of bringing stable peace, order, and civility to a cruel world?

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. These interventions created an opportunity to study the same chil­ dren during noise exposure and then later after the exposure had been attenuated. The study was designed to test the generality of several noise effects that had been well established in laboratory experimental studies. It focused on three areas: the relationship between noise and personal control, noise and attention, and noise and cardiovascular response. Two years later, a second study, designed to replicate and extend findings from the first, was conducted.
