"There is no question but this is a stunning textbook of use in a variety of settings. Certainly flight surgeons, biomedical researchers, and other scientists will view it a major boon to their efforts." (Roger D. Launius, SPACE TIMES, Vol.56 (6), November - December, 2017)

"This fourth edition ... provides succinct historical accounts of their evolution, and offers assessments of the increasingly more sophisticated information available on the space environment, risks to astronaut health, and countermeasures available to protect the human body. ... Certainly, flight surgeons, biomedical researchers, and other scientists will view it a major boon to their efforts. ... Space Physiology and Medicine has many sections that will greatly enhance knowledge of this most important of all aspects of human space exploration." (Roger D. Launius, Quest Magazine, Vol. 24 (4), 2017)
