Book excerpt: The activities of the Food and Nutrition Board's Committee on Military Nutrition Research (CMNR, the committee) have been supported since 1994 by grant DAMD17-94-J-4046 from the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC). This report fulfills the final reporting requirement of the grant, and presents a summary of activities for the grant period from December 1, 1994 through May 31, 1999. During this grant period, the CMNR has met from three to six times each year in response to issues that are brought to the committee through the Military Nutrition and Biochemistry Division of the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine at Natick, Massachusetts, and the Military Operational Medicine Program of USAMRMC at Fort Detrick, Maryland. The CMNR has submitted five workshop reports (plus two preliminary reports), including one that is a joint project with the Subcommittee on Body Composition, Nutrition, and Health of Military Women; three letter reports, and one brief report, all with recommendations, to the Commander, U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, since September 1995 and has a brief report currently in preparation. These reports are summarized in the following activity report with synopses of additional topics for which reports were deferred pending completion of military research in progress. This activity report includes as appendixes the conclusions and recommendations from the nine reports and has been prepared in a fashion to allow rapid access to committee recommendations on the topics covered over the time period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aware that her youth is slipping by, Mary Beth Baptiste decides to escape her lackluster, suburban life in coastal Massachusetts to pursue her lifelong dream of being a Rocky Mountain woodswoman. To the horror of her traditional, ethnic family, she divorces her husband of fifteen years, dusts off her wildlife biology degree, and flees to Moose, Wyoming for a job at Grand Teton National Park. In these rugged mountains, unexpected lessons from nature and wildlife guide her journey as she creates a new life for herself. Set against the dramatic backdrop and quirky culture of Jackson Hole, this beautifully written memoir is a thoughtful, often humorous account of a woman’s bumbling quest for purpose, redemption, and love through wilderness adventure, solitude, and offbeat human connections.

Book excerpt: Be careful what you wish for - you just might get it. After dreaming for years about living in a beautiful resort town, Emily Eddins and her husband moved in a post 9/11 panic from Washington, D.C., to peaceful Truckee, a small mountain town in California. They quickly learned that their dreams may have been misguided. Altitude Adjustment is a collection of humorous vignettes that reveal Emily's wry take on life in a quirky ski town. This modern-day cautionary tale details a series of athletic and social slip-ups that Emily never could have imagined before moving to her winter wonderland. A marginally sporty, uptight urbanite, Emily was shocked to discover she could not compete physically or socially in a culture that places a premium on outdoor fitness above all else. Anyone who has contemplated making the move from big city life to a small town can appreciate the author's experience of loneliness, anxiety and self-doubt in her new community of 14,000 residents. After all, it's not easy to fit in when you're a 30-something fresh from the asphalt jungle. Emily Eddins spent a decade joining and quitting baby groups and volunteering at her children's schools before publishing Altitude Adjustment, which took one year to write and nine years to edit. Three of the essays have appeared elsewhere: The Louisville Review, Forge and Toad Suck Review. Emily's work also has been printed in a range of literary publications including The Willow Review, Rio Grande Review and Front Porch. She and her husband live in Northern California with their three children.

High Altitude: Human Adaptation to Hypoxia addresses the challenges in dealing with the changes in human physiology and the particular medical conditions that arise from exposure to high altitude. In-depth and comprehensive chapters cover both the basic science and the clinical consequences of exposure to high altitude. Genetic, cellular, organ and whole body system responses to high altitudes are covered and chapters discuss these effects on a wide range of diseases. Expert authors provide insight into the care of patients with pre-existing medical conditions that fail in some cases to adapt as well as offer insights into how high altitude research can help critically ill patients. High Altitude: Human Adaptation to Hypoxia is an important new volume that offers a window into greater understanding and more successful treatment of hypoxic human diseases.

Book excerpt: It was a couple decades back, on a chilly day at snow-challenged The Wisp resort in far-western Maryland, when I noticed the kernel that sprouted into this book.In my pocket, I carried a small, waterproof Canon film camera. The patterns of the cables and chairs snaking up the hill drew my eye.I made a picture much like the one above.Slowly over the years, I developed a photographic toolkit and visual language to document the inbounds skiing experience: from the chair, under the chair and around it.One reason I focused on the lifts was that I could make pictures when we were in line or on the chair, rather than interrupting my wife's ski day. She lost patience with my pausing for pictures long ago. In the chair, I learned not to jostle her while changing lenses or leaning forward to catcha fleeting moment below.My camera is now part of my skiing experience. And I hope the pictures I've made give you a taste of this wonderful winter sport.
