5.0 out of 5 stars
Best introductory text on aerospace medicine,
By
This review is from: Fundamentals of Aerospace Medicine (Hardcover)
This textbook serves as the introductory text to most physicians working in aerospace medicine worldwide and is edited by one of the legends in the field (most of us simply refer to the book as "DeHart"). It is clear to read, easy to understand, and provides a historical background as well for the field of aerospace medicine. It is somewhat biased towards aerospace medicine in the United States, in particular in discussions regarding some life support equipment in military aircraft, but it also notes policies and equipment from other countries as well. The discussion on the Orlan spacesuits used on board the International Space Station, for example, is very good for an introductory text. If you are interested in only one narrow field of aerospace medicine, there are certainly specific texts out there for most every aspect you can imagine. Still, as a board certified aerospace medicine physician, this book is on my "easy to reach" shelf with my other most frequently used textbooks. Highly recommended.
