If earlier extreme situations were the lot of a few, now millions are addicted to extreme sports. But how many people know how physiological mechanisms ensure the functioning of a living organism in the most severe and unsuitable conditions for its existence? In the heat and in the cold, on the mountain heights, where there is almost nothing to breathe, and in the depths of the sea, where the blood “boils”? All this is familiar to the author of the book firsthand. One of the most prominent female scientists in the world, Francis Ashcroft, climbed Kilimanjaro and scuba dived, underwent something like a “baptism of fire” in a hot Japanese bath, and even saved the life of a man who found himself in icy water. Her book is not only a fascinating read and scientific writing, but also a practical guide to survival. And it is quite possible that it will help you in moments of the highest tension - whether it is about sports, about an attraction or about the struggle for life.
