How do people survive extremes of heat, cold, depth, speed and altitude?

In mans battle for survival in the harshest of environments, the knowledge imparted by physiology, the logic of life, is crucial. What causes mountain sickness?

Why are astronauts unable to stand without fainting when they return to Earth? Why do human divers get the bends but sperm whales dont? Will men always be able to run faster than women? Why dont penguins get frostbite? The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR001265393
