Surviving the Extremes: What Happens to the Body and Mind at the Limits of Human Endurance
by Kenneth Kamler
I listened to this on audiobook and am considering starting it over. It was that good.
It’s a pleasing mixture of the author’s own experience, his imagination (based on known data, of course), and other people’s experiences at the extreme limits of human endurance. Cold + altitude, in the ocean, on top of the ocean without food or water, in the desert, and in outer space. It’s unbelievable--but real!
He writes really well, too. And the narration was so good I never even noticed it, which is about the best I can say for any narration. I was just living the stories.
