    Berlin - Leipzig - Wien - Suttgart, Deutsches Verlagshaus Bong & Co., 1906, Gr.8°, XVI, 494 pp., zahlr. Abbildungen und Tafeln, Anhang 30 Tabellen, orig. Leinenband. First Edition! By Nathan Zuntz (1847-1920); Adolf Loewy (1862-1937); Franz Robert Müller (1871-1945); Wilhelm Caspari (1872-1944). An exhaustive study of the effects of high altitude, cold and physical exertion on the muscles and respiratory system. The numerous tables contain detailed scientific observations carried out on the authors during their ascents of Monte Rosa and the Rothorn. These mountains are the subjects of the folding photographic panoramas. Chapter I is an interesting historical survey of research in the field; with three coloured plates, two folding panoramas, two folding maps and a folding chart; 30 tables at end (many folding or double-page); numerous illustrations in the text. <R"Another disciple of Pflüger, Nathan Zuntz (1847-1920), already worked in the laboratory before his graduation. After a short period of rural medical practice, Zuntz returned to Bonn and became Pflüger's assistant in 1870, receiving a professorial appointment four years later at the Agricultural Academy of Bonn. In 1880, Zuntz transferred to the newly established Agricultural College in Berlin, where he died in 1920. Zuntz had already concluded in his dissertation that the combination between carbon dioxide and hemoglobin was dissociable instead of fixed. Together with Joseph von Mering he examined the effects of food absorption on the metabolism, coining the word "Verdauungsarbeit" (digestive work) for the increased metabolic rate. Zuntz also demonstrated that intravenously administered foodstuffs could produce a similar metabolic increase. A tremendous methodological advance was the introduction of the so-called Zuntz-Geppert breathing machine. This portable apparatus facilitated short metabolic investigations in the laboratory as weil as studies during the actual Performance of certain physical activities . Thus, Zuntz became involved in those physiological events which were associated with Sports, hiking and high alti- portable breathing apparatus. Zuntz studied extensively the various gases in the blood, and established the carbonic acid method for the measurement of blood volume as well as the formula of oxygen and caloric consumption. Many foreign students were attracted to Zuntz's laboratory, and among his better known collaborators were Adolf Loewy, Adalbert Magnus-Levy, A.J. Geppert, W. Caspari and Arnold Durig."
