Space Physiology and Medicine: From Evidence to Practice de Arnauld E. Nicogossian

Space Physiology and Medicine: From Evidence to Practice

Editat de Arnauld E. Nicogossian, Richard S. Williams, Carolyn L. Huntoon, Charles R. Doarn, James D. Polk, Victor S. Schneider
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 apr 2018
As space medicine evolved from the late 1950s onward, the need arose for a ready reference for students and practitioners on the basic concepts of this new specialty. Through three editions edited by leaders in the development of space medicine, this classic text has met the need. This fourth edition of Space Physiology and Medicine provides succinct, evidence-based summaries of the current knowledge base in space medicine and serves as a source of information on the space environment, responses, and practices. Additionally, there is extensive online material available for each chapter, featuring overviews and self-study questions.

Recenzii

This book was awarded by The International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) in 2018 with the Life Science Book Award.

“There is no question but this is a stunning textbook of use in a variety of settings. Certainly flight surgeons, biomedical researchers, and other scientists will view it a major boon to their efforts.” (Roger D. Launius, SPACE TIMES, Vol.56 (6), November – December, 2017)

“This fourth edition … provides succinct historical accounts of their evolution, and offers assessments of the increasingly more sophisticated information available on the space environment, risks to astronaut health, and countermeasures available to protect the human body. … Certainly, flight surgeons, biomedical researchers, and other scientists will view it a major boon to their efforts. … Space Physiology and Medicine has many sections that will greatly enhance knowledge of this most important of all aspects of human space exploration.” (Roger D. Launius, Quest Magazine, Vol. 24 (4), 2017)
