This significant volume is a progress report of the research work on the most efficient and practical methods of protecting man against the extremes of external temperatures such as encountered in the polar regions, in equatorial deserts and at high altitudes in the air. This work, by competent biologists, medical doctors and engineers during the late war, was inaugurated by our Armed Forces. Fifteen authors contribute to the 12 chapters of the report. Each chapter is provided with an extensive bibliography. This valuable report shows how far the extremes of environmental temperatures can be mitigated by scientifically protective covering of man. The studies are being continued by both military and civilian groups.
