The New England Journal of Medicine -- January 4, 2001 -- Vol. 344, No. 1 Life at the Extremes: The Science of Survival By Frances Ashcroft. 326 pp., illustrated. Berkeley, University of California Press, 2000. $27.50. ISBN 0-520-22234-2 There is a review at : http://www.nejm.org/content/2001/0344/0001/0071a.asp I read the review, and thought "I gotta get this for a winter read".

See what you think, I ordered it, and will post a review, when I get and read it.

LOL...
