Life of man on the High Alps

By A 1846-1910 Mosso

In this classic work of mountaineering literature, Italian physiologist Angelo Mosso describes his scientific observations of the effects of high altitude on the human body during his ascents of various Alpine peaks in the late 19th century. Drawing on his own experiences as well as the accounts of other mountaineers, Mosso offers a fascinating glimpse into the physical and psychological challenges of high altitude climbing, and his groundbreaking research paved the way for future studies of the physiology of extreme environments.
