Book Overview
We are the first species with the ability to leave planet Earth and expand the horizons of existence into the infinite realm of the universe. Humanity has been working, learning and building toward this accomplishment throughout history. Those who live and work in space will be no different from their predecessors who left ancient homelands to venture into the unknown wilderness. But to travel and work in space, one must not only know the physical characteristics of the space environment, but also something about the human beings involved. Living in Space explains: -Technology necessary for staying happy, healthy and alive in space.
- Effects of acceleration on the human body
- The long term affects of living in zero-g conditions
- The most harmful forms of ionizing radiation for humans
- Nutrition and Sanitation
- Basic problems of working in space. The people who go into space to live and work are setting the foundation for humanity's future.

Men and women work and live normally inside their spacecrafts, but it is all much more complicated than that. Harry Stine has written a book devoted to these matters and he does so in a beautifully and lively manner. We will learn about space medicine, space villages and many more interesting topics. Easy to read, Living In Space is a very useful handbook for those people who want to look the subject from a new perspective.
