At sixteen, bivouacked on a mountainside beneath a sky filled with stars, Jean-Marc Rochette has already begun measuring himself against some of Europe's highest peaks. 0The Aiguille Dibona, the Coup de Saber, La Meije: the summits of the Massif des Ecrins, to which he escapes as a teenager, spark both exhilaration and fear. At times, they are a playground for adventure. At others, they are a battlefield. The young climber is acutely aware that death lurks in the frozen corridors of the French Alps.0In 'Altitude', Jean-Marc Rochette tells the story of his formative years, as a climber and as an artist. Part coming-of-age story, part love letter to the Alps, this autobiographical graphic novel captures the thrill and the terror invoked by high mountains, and considers one man's obsession with getting to the top of them

Addresses the physiology of altitude training, limitations to competing and training at altitude, and a variety of other topics related to the effect of altitude training on athletic performance.

Likely you are yearning for something—something specific like achieving a goal or a certain kind of relationship, more money, or happiness, or maybe it’s more open-ended like freedom from something, or freedom to do or be something in the world. Perhaps something is keeping you from truly connecting or letting go. In Life at Altitude, author Kyle Mercer offers a road map for you to better understand yourself in many different forms. Guiding you to connect with your own truth, he helps you recognize you are not your emotions, mind, reactions, or ego. Through his trademarked Inquiry Method, he shows you how to overcome what might be keeping you stuck in that mindset and how to remove obstacles preventing you from fully experiencing life. A guide for finding your inner truth, your meaning, and your self-understanding, Life at Altitude explores the elements of your mind, body, and source that prevent you from aligning with your true nature. From this place, you can practice life, yoga, religion, the law of attraction, or any spiritual practice to its highest meaning without emotional, egoic, or other limitations, setting you on a life-changing journey.

Everything that you do is affected by the attitude that you have. All that you do and say is being observed by others. The observation is being done when you are unaware. Someone is always watching you. Your example is so important. Godly attitudes lead to right choices. Ungodly attitudes lead to wrong choices. In this book I focus on eleven attitudes that God teaches about in the Bible. As we cultivate these attitudes we will see how God will bless us and make our lives successful. I look at faith, prayer, patience, obedience, meditation, humility, passion, forgiveness, gratitude, compassion and love. For each I give examples from the Bible of how God promoted the lives of those that developed one of these attitudes in their life. This book will help you to position yourself in God so that you can gain the altitude that God intended for you. Your attitude determines your altitude. A Godly attitude will enable you to become the person God intended you to be. Yves Carrenard is the Founder and Pastor of Rhema Ministry, He holds a Masters degree in Christian Counseling.

Andrea Wiley investigates the ecological, historical, and socio-cultural factors that contribute to the peculiar pattern of infant mortality in Ladakh, a high-altitude region in the western Himalayas of India. Ladakhi newborns are extremely small at birth, smaller than those in other high-altitude populations, smaller still than those in sea level regions. Factors such as hypoxia, dietary patterns, the burden of women's work, gender, infectious diseases, seasonality, and use of local health resources all affect a newborn's birth weight and raise the likelihood of infant mortality. An Ecology of High-Altitude Infancy is unique in that it makes use of the methods of human biology but strongly emphasizes the ethnographic context that gives human biological measures their meaning. It is an example of a new genre of anthropological work: 'ethnographic human biology'.

This book discusses the technical changes that take place at high altitude, and reasons in a down-to-earth way how these situations can be sensibly handled. The authors are climbing doctors with first-hand experience of altitude medicine.

This book reviews the research pertaining to nutrient requirements for working in cold or in high-altitude environments and states recommendations regarding the application of this information to military operational rations. It addresses whether, aside from increased energy demands, cold or high-altitude environments elicit an increased demand or requirement for specific nutrients, and whether performance in cold or high-altitude environments can be enhanced by the provision of increased amounts of specific nutrients.
