Today, space research provides a better understanding of our physiological response mechanisms to microgravity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSpace and Life: An Introduction to Space Biology and Medicine describes the results of space research in the context of core concepts in human physiology to depict the effects of both long-term and short-term absence of gravity on the human body. The book explains the scientific basis for the physiological reactions so common to astronauts who experience zero gravity, such as bone calcium loss, puffy faces, and nausea. It includes discussions of cosmic rays, cells, plants, embryonic development, and the origins of life on Earth from a space research standpoint. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUpdating the current knowledge about how the human body adapts to the space environment and the absence of gravity, this book is ideal for space research scientists, physiologists, NASA employees, and students involved in space study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hubert Planel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367454378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367454371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.41d","brand":"Hubert Planel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941233950975,"sku":"9780367454371","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2ffed57b-057b-4a87-86c4-77ab1e64719e.jpg?v=1681451711","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/space-and-life-hubert-planel-9780367454371","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
