Higher and Colder A History of Extreme Physiology and Exploration In the long twentieth century, explorers embarked on unprecedented journeys to the hottest, coldest, and highest points on the globe, pushing the limits of human endurance and understanding in the process. Higher and Colder presents the first history of extreme physiology, delving into the seminal questions that have driven the development of modern science. From the Himalayas to Antarctica and beyond, this book offers a unique perspective on the history of scientific thought, one that centers on fieldwork expeditions and exploration rather than laboratory-based research. Through a series of engaging and provocative chapters, the author tells the story of the men and women who ventured into the unknown, often facing physically demanding, dangerous, and sometimes fatal challenges in their pursuit of knowledge. In doing so, they not only advanced our understanding of the human body but also contributed to broader political and social shifts in twentieth-century scientific thinking. Despite the male-dominated nature of these practices and sciences, the book recovers the stories of women's contributions that were sometimes accidentally and deliberately erased from historical records.
Высшая и более холодная история экстремальной физиологии и исследований В длинном двадцатом веке исследователи предприняли беспрецедентные путешествия в самые горячие, самые холодные и самые высокие точки на земном шаре, расширяя пределы человеческой выносливости и понимания в этом процессе. Высшее и Холодер представляет первую историю экстремальной физиологии, вникая в основополагающие вопросы, которые обусловили развитие современной науки. От Гималаев до Антарктиды и далее, эта книга предлагает уникальный взгляд на историю научной мысли, которая сосредоточена на полевых экспедициях и исследованиях, а не на лабораторных исследованиях. Через серию увлекательных и провокационных глав автор рассказывает историю мужчин и женщин, которые отважились на неизвестность, часто сталкиваясь с физически требовательными, опасными, а иногда и фатальными проблемами в стремлении к знаниям. При этом они не только улучшили наше понимание человеческого тела, но и способствовали более широким политическим и социальным сдвигам в научном мышлении двадцатого века. Несмотря на преобладающий мужской характер этих практик и наук, книга восстанавливает истории о вкладе женщин, которые иногда случайно и намеренно стирались из исторических записей.
Histoire supérieure et froide de la physiologie extrême et de la recherche Au cours du long XXe siècle, les chercheurs ont entrepris des voyages sans précédent vers les points les plus chauds, les plus froids et les plus hauts du globe, étendant les limites de l'endurance et de la compréhension humaines dans ce processus. Supérieur et le Froid présente la première histoire de la physiologie extrême, en se penchant sur les questions fondamentales qui ont conduit au développement de la science moderne. De l'Himalaya à l'Antarctique, ce livre offre une vision unique de l'histoire de la pensée scientifique, qui se concentre sur les expéditions et la recherche sur le terrain plutôt que sur la recherche en laboratoire. À travers une série de chapitres fascinants et provocateurs, l'auteur raconte l'histoire d'hommes et de femmes qui ont bravé l'inconnu, souvent confrontés à des problèmes physiquement exigeants, dangereux et parfois fatals dans leur quête du savoir. Ce faisant, ils ont non seulement amélioré notre compréhension du corps humain, mais aussi contribué à des changements politiques et sociaux plus larges dans la pensée scientifique du XXe siècle. Malgré le caractère masculin prédominant de ces pratiques et sciences, le livre restaure des histoires sur les contributions des femmes, parfois effacées accidentellement et délibérément des dossiers historiques.
Historia superior y más fría de la fisiología y la investigación extremas En el largo siglo XX, los investigadores emprendieron viajes sin precedentes a los puntos más calientes, más fríos y más altos del mundo, ampliando los límites de la resistencia y la comprensión humanas en este proceso. Supremo y el Frío presenta la primera historia de la fisiología extrema, ahondando en las cuestiones fundamentales que han condicionado el desarrollo de la ciencia moderna. Desde el Himalaya hasta la Antártida en adelante, este libro ofrece una visión única de la historia del pensamiento científico, que se centra en las expediciones de campo y la investigación en lugar de la investigación de laboratorio. A través de una serie de fascinantes y provocadores capítulos, el autor cuenta la historia de hombres y mujeres que se atrevieron a lo desconocido, a menudo enfrentándose a problemas físicamente exigentes, peligrosos y a veces fatales en la búsqueda del conocimiento. Al hacerlo, no sólo mejoraron nuestra comprensión del cuerpo humano, sino que también contribuyeron a un cambio político y social más amplio en el pensamiento científico del siglo XX. A pesar del carácter masculino predominante de estas prácticas y ciencias, el libro recupera historias sobre las contribuciones de mujeres que a veces han sido borradas accidental y deliberadamente de los registros históricos.
Die höhere und kältere Geschichte der extremen Physiologie und Forschung Im langen zwanzigsten Jahrhundert unternahmen Forscher beispiellose Reisen zu den heißesten, kältesten und höchsten Punkten der Welt und erweiterten dabei die Grenzen der menschlichen Ausdauer und des menschlichen Verständnisses. Supreme und Colder präsentieren die erste Geschichte der extremen Physiologie und vertiefen sich in die grundlegenden Fragen, die die Entwicklung der modernen Wissenschaft bestimmt haben. Vom Himalaya bis zur Antarktis und darüber hinaus bietet dieses Buch einen einzigartigen Einblick in die Geschichte des wissenschaftlichen Denkens, das sich auf Feldexpeditionen und Forschung konzentriert, anstatt auf Laborforschung. In einer Reihe faszinierender und provokanter Kapitel erzählt die Autorin die Geschichte von Männern und Frauen, die sich ins Ungewisse gewagt haben und dabei auf der Suche nach Wissen oft mit körperlich fordernden, gefährlichen und manchmal tödlichen Problemen konfrontiert werden. Auf diese Weise verbesserten sie nicht nur unser Verständnis des menschlichen Körpers, sondern trugen auch zu breiteren politischen und sozialen Veränderungen im wissenschaftlichen Denken des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts bei. Trotz des vorherrschenden männlichen Charakters dieser Praktiken und Wissenschaften rekonstruiert das Buch Geschichten über die Beiträge von Frauen, die manchmal versehentlich und absichtlich aus historischen Aufzeichnungen gelöscht wurden.

A Higher and Colder History of Extreme Physiology and Research (Aşırı Fizyoloji ve Araştırmanın Daha Yüksek ve Daha Soğuk Bir Tarihi) Uzun yirminci yüzyılda, araştırmacılar dünyanın en sıcak, en soğuk ve en yüksek noktalarına eşi görülmemiş yolculuklar gerçekleştirdiler ve bu süreçte insan dayanıklılığının ve anlayışının sınırlarını genişlettiler. Higher ve Cholder, modern bilimin gelişmesine yol açan temel soruları inceleyerek aşırı fizyolojinin ilk tarihini sunar. Himalayalardan Antarktika'ya ve ötesine, bu kitap, laboratuvar araştırmalarından ziyade saha keşiflerine ve araştırmalarına odaklanan bilimsel düşünce tarihine benzersiz bir bakış açısı sunuyor. Bir dizi büyüleyici ve kışkırtıcı bölüm aracılığıyla yazar, bilinmeyene giren, genellikle bilgi arayışında fiziksel olarak zorlu, tehlikeli ve bazen ölümcül zorluklarla karşı karşıya kalan kadın ve erkeklerin hikayesini anlatıyor. Bunu yaparken, sadece insan vücudu hakkındaki anlayışımızı geliştirmekle kalmadılar, aynı zamanda yirminci yüzyıl bilimsel düşüncesindeki daha geniş siyasi ve sosyal değişimlere de katkıda bulundular. Bu uygulamaların ve bilimlerin baskın erkeksi doğasına rağmen, kitap, bazen yanlışlıkla ve kasıtlı olarak tarihsel kayıtlardan silinen kadınların katkılarının hikayelerini kurtarır.
تاريخ أعلى وأبرد من علم وظائف الأعضاء المتطرف والبحوث في القرن العشرين الطويل، قام الباحثون برحلات غير مسبوقة إلى النقاط الأكثر سخونة وبرودة وأعلى نقاط العالم، مما أدى إلى توسيع حدود تحمل الإنسان وفهمه في هذه العملية. يقدم Higher and Cholder التاريخ الأول لعلم وظائف الأعضاء المتطرف، ويتعمق في الأسئلة الأساسية التي أدت إلى تطوير العلوم الحديثة. من جبال الهيمالايا إلى القارة القطبية الجنوبية وخارجها، يقدم هذا الكتاب منظورًا فريدًا لتاريخ الفكر العلمي الذي يركز على البعثات الميدانية والبحوث بدلاً من الأبحاث المعملية. من خلال سلسلة من الفصول الرائعة والاستفزازية، يروي المؤلف قصة رجال ونساء غامروا في المجهول، وغالبًا ما يواجهون تحديات جسدية وخطيرة وأحيانًا قاتلة في السعي وراء المعرفة. وبذلك، لم تحسن فهمنا لجسم الإنسان فحسب، بل ساهمت أيضا في إحداث تحولات سياسية واجتماعية أوسع في التفكير العلمي في القرن العشرين. على الرغم من الطبيعة الذكورية السائدة لهذه الممارسات والعلوم، يستعيد الكتاب قصصًا عن مساهمات المرأة التي تم محوها أحيانًا عن غير قصد وعن قصد من السجلات التاريخية.
