Sinopsis

Bioengineering in Extreme Environments supports students’ education in both technology and the natural world. Students learn about natural science, human body responses, and various technologies that enable or could enable humans to thrive in extreme environments. The text demystifies technology for readers, demonstrating that many technologies are simply well-developed solutions to everyday problems.

Over the course of 12 chapters, students visit Death Valley, Antarctica, the Great Salt Lake, Chernobyl, Jupiter, Mt. Everest, and other extreme locations to learn about their environments, effects on the human body, and the types of technology they each would require for human survival. Each chapter includes learning objectives, the core text, and instructions and assignments for small groups.

The second edition has been revised to include the most up-to-date information available in each chapter, as well as new figures and images throughout the text.

Bioengineering in Extreme Environments is an ideal textbook for undergraduate general education courses in science and the natural world.
