Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Physiological Effects of High Altitude covers the concepts and principles in high altitude physiology. This book is divided into four main sections that discuss the adaptive mechanisms in natural acclimatization and the bodily processes of exercise at high altitudes. Some of the topics covered in the book are the development of chronic mountain sickness; comparison of growth and development of the rat at high altitude; body weight during early acclimatization; experiments on wound healing and activity of the adrenocortical system; and experiments on pregnancy and lactation. Other sections deal with the volume and structure of erythrocytes and hemoglobin at high altitude, particularly the responses of deer mice to altitude. This book also examines the hematologic changes during rest and physical activity in man at high altitude. The remaining sections are devoted to the hematologic changes during physical activity, as well as the hypoxic stimulus and mechanism of erythropoiesis. The book can provide useful information to doctors, students, and researchers.

Book excerpt: Likely you are yearning for something—something specific like achieving a goal or a certain kind of relationship, more money, or happiness, or maybe it’s more open-ended like freedom from something, or freedom to do or be something in the world. Perhaps something is keeping you from truly connecting or letting go. In Life at Altitude, author Kyle Mercer offers a road map for you to better understand yourself in many different forms. Guiding you to connect with your own truth, he helps you recognize you are not your emotions, mind, reactions, or ego. Through his trademarked Inquiry Method, he shows you how to overcome what might be keeping you stuck in that mindset and how to remove obstacles preventing you from fully experiencing life. A guide for finding your inner truth, your meaning, and your self-understanding, Life at Altitude explores the elements of your mind, body, and source that prevent you from aligning with your true nature. From this place, you can practice life, yoga, religion, the law of attraction, or any spiritual practice to its highest meaning without emotional, egoic, or other limitations, setting you on a life-changing journey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade the science and medicine of high altitude and hypoxia adaptation has seen great advances. High Altitude: Human Adaptation to Hypoxia addresses the challenges in dealing with the changes in human physiology and the particular medical conditions that arise from exposure to high altitude. In-depth and comprehensive chapters cover both the basic science and the clinical consequences of exposure to high altitude. Genetic, cellular, organ and whole body system responses to high altitudes are covered and chapters discuss these effects on a wide range of diseases. Expert authors provide insight into the care of patients with pre-existing medical conditions that fail in some cases to adapt as well as offer insights into how high altitude research can help critically ill patients. High Altitude: Human Adaptation to Hypoxia is an important new volume that offers a window into greater understanding and more successful treatment of hypoxic human diseases.
