Overview
- Today’s approach to countering the deleterious effects of microgravity are piece-meal,
- whereas this book provides an integrated countermeasure affecting multiple physiological
- Readers will gain insight into potential research areas for further studies, as well as information to support the planning and design of future space missions
- Many detailed illustrations are included

Reviews
From the reviews:
"The book has grown out of the work of the ESA Topical Team on Artificial Gravity, which issued its Final Report in 2006. … provide a useful summary of artificial-gravity research. The extent to which microgravity affects different physiological systems differently, and the complex-manner in which they all interact, was a real eye-opener to me. … This would greatly increase its value as a resource for those engaged in the planning of future human space exploration." (Ian Crawford, The Observatory, Vol. 128 (1203), 2008)
