<p>Altitude medicine is simple in principle: if you don't feel well at altitude, you don't climb any higher. But whether trekkers or mountaineers - more and more are seeking solitude in nature or want to go high up! And often fail because of altitude problems made from ignorance. This medical guide is intended to enable the reader to prepare optimally for a planned route. Furthermore, a number of authors, all of them mountaineers, mountain guides or doctors, have contributed. In addition to the chapters on "Trekking", "Acclimatization" and "Extreme altitude", "Training" and "Polar medicine" are also described in detail. Valuable tips, illustrations and equipment lists leave few questions unanswered at the end.</p> <p>Thomas Hochholzer / Martin Burtscher, Verlag Panico; 336 pages, 148 x 220 mm</p>
