Surviving the Extremes

I can't recall the author's name, but it is written by a doctor that is also an explorer. He travels on scientific expiditions to places like Mount everest, the Amazon, deep sea, etc. and talks about the medical issues that arrise and how he (and local people) deal with them. He also talks about how these extreme conditions impact the human body and why some people survive the rigors of these envornments and why some don't. I'm only a couple chapters in right now, but it seems like an interesting read.

I found that to be a very satisfying read.

I have just finished The Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino -- interesting narrative and a memorable protagonist.

About to start American Gods by Neil Gaiman, one that has been on my "books to read" list for a long time.

Sounds up my alley! Will try and check it out when I've finished with writing all these papers.

Right now, as of this hour, I am reading:

Envisioning Landscapes, Making Worlds: Geography and the Humanities, I'll be reading something else in bit...
