Summary: Useful and Entertaining
Review: Dr. Houston has written an excellent book on the effects of altitude on people. He reviews the history of mountain exploration, explains the physiological effects of the reduction of atmospheric pressure, and presents a practical guide for acclimitization to altitude. Whether you are going to ski in the Rockies or climb in the Himilayas, this is a useful and entertaining book. I also recommend "Altitude Illness" by BezruchkaI found my copy of "Going Higher" in a bookstore in Burlington, Vermont. When I got home I discovered that it had been signed by the author!
