About this listen

Chris and Neal invite special guest Dr. Marcus Ranney onto the show to discuss his new book, At The Human Edge, as well as his work on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic in India. The book is a non-fiction-based piece of popular science which unravels the amazing adaptive physiological responses that our bodies undergo as we push it to the limits in extreme sports and natural environments. Each chapter captures the history, geography, and physical challenges which our bodies face when we as a species have tried to conquer the great outdoors. From Mt Everest to the South Pole, from a journey to Mars to the bottom of the Mariana trench. Chris and Neal further dive into Dr. Ranney's strong understanding of human physiology (particularly at the extreme), how the body first deteriorates, then adapts, and finally excels when faced with running a marathon, summiting Everest, or going to Mars. You can find Dr. Ranney's book here: https://www.amazon.com/At-Human-Edge-Physiology-Performance-ebook/dp/B08MW7D165
