Bioengineering in Extreme Environments is an engaging text that supports students' education in both technology and the natural world. Students learn about natural science, human body responses, and various technologies that enable or could enable humans to thrive in extreme environments. The text demystifies technology for readers, demonstrating that many technologies are simply well-developed solutions to everyday problems. Over the course of 11 chapters, students visit Death Valley, Antarctica, the Great Salt Lake, Chernobyl, Jupiter, Mt. Everest, and other extreme locations to learn about their environments, effects on the human body, and the types of technology they each would require for human survival. Each chapter includes learning objectives, the core text, and instructions and assignments for small groups. Students are challenged to work together to cultivate knowledge, complete interactive homework assignments, and answer thought-provoking questions. Embracing active learning and interdisciplinary knowledge-building, Bioengineering in Extreme Environments is an ideal textbook for undergraduate general education courses in science and the natural world. Mary D. Frame is a professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Stony Brook University, where she teaches courses in biomedical engineering, bioengineering in extreme environments, clinical challenges for the 21st century, nanotechnology, quantitative physiology, and more. She holds a Ph.D. in physiology and A.B. in biology from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Lesley D. Frame is an assistant professor of materials science and engineering in the Institute of Materials Science and the director of the Center for Materials Processing Data at the University of Connecticut. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Arizona and SB from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Dr. Frame's research interests include metals processing, manufacturing, corrosion, residual stress, phase transformations, and structure/property/processing relationships.
