Book Reviews of Going Higher: Oxygen Man and Mountains, 5th Ed
Book Review: A MUST-HAVE-BOOK for anyone in the medical profession
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr. Houston and his associates have indeed produced, what very well could be, the best text book on basic physiological aspects of man being exposed to high altitude conditions you will find anywhere. Filled with text and graphics to help explain not only the ill effects of high altitude exposure, but various related medical subjects that could only be found from exhaustive research otherwise. All in one very well written book with historical perspective as well! Every intern, established physician and research psychologist should have a copy on hand and have it there right next to John B. West's and Ernsting's books.
