Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Man on the High Alps On the intimation of the acquiescence of the Ministry I went to Ivrea where the Alpine regiment was stationed. My errand being made known, a number of soldiers immediately offered to join the expedition to the glaciers of Monte Rosa. I shall often have occasion to mention by name those who accompanied me I take, however, this early opportunity of remarking that their behaviour and discipline were worthy of all praise, and of giving expression to my feelings of admiration for the sterling qualities of these humble comrades of mine, to whom likewise my heartiest thanks are due. The first month, from the roth of June to the 11th of July, 1894, was devoted to preliminary researches with the object of ascertaining the physio logical conditions of the soldiers. As it was necessary to know what was their power of resistance to fatigue at ordinary elevations, I let them march with arms and baggage from Ivrea to Turin, a distance of 60 kilometres. I had purposely chosen some soldiers who were very strong and others of average strength: these I divided into two squads. I started with one squad and made the ascent at a slow rate of progress, about metres per week. The other division climbed up to the summit of Monte Rosa rapidly, em ploying only three days, the rest being by that time installed in the Regina Margherita Hut, awaiting their arrival. This arrangement was made with the intent of discovering the effect of slow and rapid changes of altitude on the organism.

In the descent we felt discomfort (such as was experienced in the ascent between Junction and Footstool Camp) down to a much lower level, as far as Corner Camp (13,000 feet), than we had felt in the ascent. We seemed to become continuously less able to hold out against altitude the longer we remained at a higher level. I several times took my temperature, but never hit it at anything but normal."2 It must be borne in mind that in this division of mountain-sickness acclimatisation ceases at great heights, because, in consequence of the everincreasing weakness, we become more sensitive to the action of the rarefied air; thus we see from the foregoing quotation that Conway and his companions felt worse when they descended to lower levels. The necessity of distinguishing the effects of weakness from those of rarefied air now becomes apparent. During the ascent one is stronger and more resistant, whereas in descending one is attacked by mountain-sickness at lesser heights owing to the state of greater exhaustion brought about by the casualties of the excursion. This is the reverse of what takes place in the acute form, which disappears, as we have seen, when one passes from thinner into denser air. Even on Monte Rosa at an altitude of 4,560 metres the acute and slow forms of mountain-sickness are easily distinguishable. Several of our party suffered from nausea and vomiting, violent headache, physical prostration 1 Edward Whymper, Travels amongst the Great Andes of the Equator. London, 1892, p-374 W. M.

In myself and others, on the contrary, phenomena of the slow type manifested themselves. Many will have noticed...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Alps For the early chapters of this book I have consulted, amongst other authorities, the books mentioned in the bibliography on pp. 251- 254. It would, however, be ungracious if I failed to acknowledge my indebtedness to that most readable of historians, Mr. Gribble, and to his books, The Early Mountaineers (Fisher Unwin) and The Story of Alpine Climbing (Nelson). Mr. Gribble and his publisher, Mr. Unwin, have kindly allowed me to quote passages translated from the works of the pioneers. Two friends, experts in the practice and history of mountaineering, have read the proofs and helped me with numerous suggestions.

Book Synopsis The Ins and Outs of Breathing by : Norman L. Jones
Download or read book The Ins and Outs of Breathing written by Norman L. Jones and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breathing, one of our most essential bodily functions, is central to the proper working of the body and to your quality of life. Taking a wider view, the lungs are the only major system in direct contact with the environment, serving to protect the body with a variety of defenses, but also taking the brunt of the onslaught, when the air we breathe is toxic. The Ins and Outs of Breathing is the result of Dr. Norman Jones's fifty-year odyssey to understand how the lung works and the science of breathing. Jones traces the struggles of scientists from Leonardo to the present day as they pieced together the structure of the lungs. He examines the effect of changes in breathing and its secondary effects on other body systems. Understand how breathing influences many bodily functions, from our muscles, brain, and even the immune system. Discover how Everest was climbed without oxygen, how Roger Bannister ran the first four-minute mile, and how SCUBA allows you to enjoy underwater exploration. Find the evidence to convince you or your friends to stop smoking. See all the different ways in which animals, marine creatures and birds breathe. Gain insights into asthma, COPD, and other lung complaints. Discover what makes your partner snore at night, and what to do about it. Accessible and wide-ranging, this layman's guide to the lungs can help you appreciate the many meanings of inspiration.
