Octavo, softbound (stiff, illustrated wrappers), 277. Very Good, with light foxing (age darkened spotting). From lower cover: Death in the desert due to exposure comes most rabidly and most often not from dehydration, but from explosive heat rise -- the sudden jump in deep body temperature occurring at some unpredictable point when the heat transfer mechanism breaks down. This can happen to man within a day or two without water in the desert -- whereas the camel may labor for weeks without a drop. Man must evaporate quantities of perspiration to maintain heat balance, while a dog hardly perspires, but pants furiously. A man can drink no more than a litre at a time no matter how thirsty he is; the camel and the donkey easily down 20 or 30 times that much -- and the kangaroo rat drinks no water at all.
