SUMMARY

Millions of medically-compromised Americans want to travel across our beautiful country, but they're negatively affected by high altitudes & can't take the risk. These unfortunate people can't find accurate & sufficient altitude readings that will allow intelligent trip planning even at lower altitudes. Such data-saturation doesn't exist in any atlas. That's why Blake Mooney spent six years working on ALTITUDE-RATED PLACES: A MEDICAL ATLAS. This exceptional book now provides the answers the altitude-handicapped need. Dr. Charles S. Houston says, "The author has painstakingly collected the names & locations of all the places in the United States higher than 4,000 feet, places you might like to visit or would have to pass if you plan a long trip. Eleven feature-places such as cities, rural hospitals, & National parks are rated. Included are detailed maps of every state that has elevations above 4,000 feet so that you can plan a trip which will not take you any higher than you wish to go. Especially important & interesting is the medical section describing major chronic disorders that can cripple & even cause death when higher than normal altitudes are involved. An excellent medical glossary, bibliography, & suggested reading list follows the accurate & important section on human physiology. Truly, an essential companion to your atlas & encyclopedia when intelligent & cautious trip-planning is medically necessary." Available from Baker & Taylor.Mooney, Blake is the author of 'Altitude-Rated Places: A Medical Atlas, Vol. 1 - Blake Mooney' with ISBN 9780963822604 and ISBN 0963822608.
