Since our first manned space flights we have learned much about how the human body adapts to the space environment and in particular, to the absence of gravity.
Ernsting's Aviation and Space Medicine applies current understanding in medicine, physiology and the behavioural sciences to the medical challenges and stresses that are faced by both civil and military aircrew, and their passengers, on a daily basis.

Fluid distribution during spaceflight and impact on brain and vision health is an emerging field of high-priority research in the NASA human space program.
En este libro se describe una situación poco conocida y a la vez intrigante, que pone en duda los conocimientos actuales sobre lo que definimos como muerte.
Fluid distribution during spaceflight and impact on brain and vision health is an emerging field of high-priority research in the NASA human space program.
This concise yet comprehensive treatment of the effects of spaceflight on biological systems includes issues at the forefront of life sciences research, such as gravitational biology, immune system response, bone cell formation and the effects of radiation on biosystems.
In anaesthetist Dr Kevin Fong's television programmes he has often demonstrated the impact of extremes on the human body by using his own body as a 'guinea pig'.
Still the only book published anywhere in the world which is devoted entirely to the principles of aeromedical transport, Aeromedical Transportation has rightly become known as the sole reference for the industry.
