This comprehensive review incorporates recent findings in the area of environmental physiology. Well-known experts discuss physiological function in special environments at several levels, from individual cells to entire organisms of animals and man. The book will serve as a primary reference source on mechanisms of adaptation to stresses imposed by altitude and hypoxia, diving and life in water, high and low gravitational forces, and unusual patterns of gas exchange. As becomes apparent in the course of the volume, these outwardly dissimilar special environments have common features from a physiological point of view; the book offers a unique opportunity for the comparison of physiological function in different environmental stress situations.
