Building on this established reputation, the new and highly experienced authors provide a fully revised and updated text that will help doctors continue to improve the health and safety of all people who visit, live or work in the cold, thin air of high mountains.

The sixth edition of Ward, Milledge and West’s High Altitude Medicine and Physiology remains invaluable for any doctor accompanying an expedition or advising patients on a visit to altitude. It is crucial for those specialising in illness and accidents in high places, as well as for physicians and physiologists who study our dependence on oxygen and the adaptation of the body to altitude.
