Title Grappling with Gravity : How Will Life Adapt to Living in Space? Author(s) Phillips, Robert W Publication New York, NY, Springer New York, 2012. Description XI, 271 p. 113 illus., 102 illus. in color : online resource Abstract Note Grappling with Gravity explores the physiological changes that will occur in humans and the plants and animals that accompany humans as we move to new worlds, whether it be??to a??colony in the emptiness of space or settlements on the moon, Mars, or other moons or planets. This book focuses on the biomedical aspects, while not ignoring other life-changing influences of space living. For example, what happens to people physiologically in the microgravity of space, where weight and the direction "up" are meaningless? Adapting to microgravity represents the greatest physical challenge that human life will have encountered since our ancestors moved from the seas to solid Earth. It will be the next great adventure!
