"Millions of people live at high altitude and large numbers visit it for both recreational and work-related reasons. The diminished oxygen in the air causes a range of illnesses and various types of impairment of performance. This book sets out the physiological basis of these changes and discusses all aspects of high-altitude illnesses and their management."--Publisher description.
