Basic primer for aviation physiology. Great general reference for human physical issues and conditions related to aviation. I felt better about several issues and more informed about others after reading this book. Great perspective.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction to flight physiology
Reviewed in the United States on 25 October 2012

A perfect book for the aviator or medical professional interested in knowing more about the physiology of flight and the interaction between humans and the atmosphere. The author makes gas laws easy to remember and differentiate.

The only drawback is that the author seems to get easily drawn into tangents and metaphor. Otherwise, a solid read.
