Description

This fascinating book explains how humans can live in extreme environments from a physiologist's perspective, using modern concepts of stress, tolerance and adaptation. The book examines how individuals cope with life under extremes of immersion, heat, cold and altitude, emphasizing the body's recognition of stress and the brain's role in the responses needed to escape or to adapt. It also explores how humanity deals with problems of adaptation, first by trial and error, then byscientific experimentation, and finally through technological innovation. (Oxford)

Sweden's friendliest and environmental friendliest bookshop with the lowest priced textbooks.

This is our ambition, and we do what it takes to get there. We are here to help students to save and earn money on their textbooks while we at the same time save the environment. We were started in 2005 by two students and have since strived to constantly make it easier to buy and sell used textbooks for as many as possible.
