Pulling G gives a unique insight into how G forces affect people working in the high and low G environments. It examines the risks of high and low acceleration and explains the physiology of surviving in these environments. The history of G-related research is described, together with present-day and future development of methods to cope with the effects of increased and reduced G.Popular Science,2626-6113GravityPhysiological effectGravityPhysiological effect.531.14612/.014532Seedhouse Erik791794MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910438124303321Pulling G2129464UNINA
