Reviews

Exhaustion is fluently written, brilliantly argued, and will provoke thoughtful minds with the suggestion that exhaustion has a history. -- Edward Shorter, University of Toronto This is an impressive, accomplished and original book, one that promises to command a wide cross-disciplinary readership... A formidable amount of reading and research has gone into this work, which stretches from classical antiquity to the present day, but the author marshals her material confidently and carries her learning lightly - the book is a pleasure to read. -- Michael Greaney, University of Manchester This is an impressive, accomplished and original book, one that promises to command a wide cross-disciplinary readership and indeed has every chance of reaching a wider nonspecialist audience interested in the topical (but also timeless) issues of exhaustion, fatigue, burnout. -- Michael Greaney, Lancaster University
