Mosso made important investigations on respiration at high altitudes. He considered that the respiratory symptoms produced at high altitudes were due to lack of carbon dioxide. [Neate M158.]
The author (1846-1910) was a physiologist who made important investigations into human respiration and muscular fatigue at high altitudes, and was the first to study apnea. He also invented a sphygmomanometer for registering the blood pressure in the finger. The subject of this book is a study he undertook in 1894 at Monte Rosa, in the eastern Pennine Alps, at an elevation of about 14,000 feet.
