Temperature and Human LifeBy C.-E. A. Winslow and L. P. Herrington. Princeton, N. J.: Princeton University Press, 1949. 272 pp. Price, $3.50. About 35 years ago, the objective of ventilation was the dilution and removal of hypothetical dilute organic poisons exhaled from the breath of human beings and animals. At that time, the senior author of this book became interested in this subject and as chairman of the New York State Commission on Ventilation, conducted the first detailed American studies in this field. One of the most fundamental conclusions of the investigations of the Comnmission was the confirmation of the fact that the true objective of ventilation lay in the removal of heat from the human body and the production of a comfortable heatremoving aerial envelope. The studies made some time later in the laboratory of the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers at Pittsburgh, delineated certain aspects of the process of heat removal from the human body, namely, the heat loss by evaporation and by radiation, conduction and correction combined. Starting in 1932, the authors of this book, with the assistance of a physicist, engaged in a long-range program of studies on the physiology of heat
