| Summary |
"This book presents the fundamental principles of how people respond to hot environments and how those principles can be applied in practical applications. Heat stress leads to heat casualties in both indoor and outdoor environments across the world. This book provides a concise and comprehensive coverage of the subject in an accessible form for those interested in how people respond to heat and how to predict and avoid heat causalities"-- Provided by publisher |
