About the Book: “It now is becoming very clear that a body of life sciences information is needed not only to determine the best way in which to utilize man in complex systems, but to assess the impact of system operation on man. In this latter sense, we refer to impact on all mankind and not just to effetcs on humans working within a system. […] This revision of Bioastronautics Data Book was prepared in order to bring together the essrntials of the large body of human research information generated in recent years and to present it in a form suitable for engineers and others concerned with the develepment and evaluation of modern system.” (Preface)

About NASA ADS: “The SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is a Digital Library portal for researchers in Astronomy and Physics, operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) under a NASA grant. The ADS maintains three bibliographic databases containing more than 7.8 million records: Astronomy and Astrophysics, Physics, and arXiv e-prints. The main body of data in the ADS consists of bibliographic records, which are searchable through highly customizable query forms, and full-text scans of much of the astronomical literature which can be browsed or searched via our full-text search interface. Integrated in its databases, the ADS provides access and pointers to a wealth of external resources, including electronic articles, data catalogs and archives. We currently have links to over 8.4 million records maintained by our collaborators.” (read more)
