No institution or organization has done more to study the medical effects of harsh environments on human beings than the United States military. The chapters compiled in this publication are the best collection of the military’s studies on the critical issues specific to cold weather and its many effects the health and lives of human beings.The chapters herein are reprinted from the U.S. Army’s study Medical Aspects of Harsh Environments, Volume 1. It is a combination of studies on Warm Environments and Cold Environments. Only the material relevant to the effects of cold are included in these pages. Volume 1 as originally published in 2001 by the United States Army Medical Department Center and School in Fort Sam Houston, Texas and the United States Surgeon General. Its information is as relevant and important today as it was two decades ago.The chapters provide valuable information for practitioners in medical professionals, managers and administrators responsible for the health and wellbeing of employees and students. Its facts can help guide parents in caring for themselves and children, when confronting illnesses and injury caused by exposure to cold weather and situations such as water immersion.Cold caused challenges to health and life can arise during any winter season, on trips anytime of year to locations on the planet, such as exotic trips to Antarctica or even a ski trip in the mountains where cold is experienced at any time of year. The medical resources in this book can be critically helpful and potentially life-saving, when confronting cold weather experienced during natural earth cycles and during more dramatic climate changes.The chapters are rearranged from the volume’s original publication to make them more relevant to the needs of non military people. The first two chapters cover nonfreezing cold injury and cold water immersion. The third and fourth chapters explore physiological and psychological responses to impacts on the body and effects on mental health and performance. Chapters five and six explore clinical studies and treatments. Seven presents strategies for the prevention of cold injuries. The final two chapters are related more to military operations. The last of the two is a very interesting historical exploration of the critical role cold weather has played in wars from millennia ago to the present.It should be noted that this publisher is authorized by the U.S. Army with permission to reprint these documents. They are not classified. In fact, the military is encouraging of efforts to make this medical information useful and accessible to the public.
