5.0 out of 5 stars Best introductory text on aerospace medicine, April 19, 2006
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars The authority, August 21, 2000
By A Customer
This textbook is largely considered the authority in Aerospace Medicine in the United States. If one wants to become familiar with Aerospace Medicine, they must read this text. It moves from history to the many aspects of medicine, which effect the aviator. It is fairly well written, and up-to-date. It is not written with just the FAA or any one military service in mind, but can be generalized to all. Space medicine is also covered. If you need info on this subject this is a good text to purchase.
