Nutritional needs in cold and in high-altitude environments : applications for military personnel in field operations /

This book reviews the research pertaining to nutrient requirements for working in cold or in high-altitude environments and states recommendations regarding the application of this information to military operational rations. It addresses whether, aside from increased energy demands, cold or high-al...
