Synopsis
A dazzling synthesis of science and adventure, Last Breath explores what happens to our bodies and minds in the perilous last moments of life when an extreme adventure goes wrong. With more and more people setting out to climb nearly unclimbable mountains, swim unfathomable seas, and cut through unimaginable jungles, extreme deaths and near-death experiences are filling the news. Original and fresh, Last Breath is a synthesis of science, anecdote, history, caution, cure, and prevention. It examines the physiological, psychological, and emotional stages our bodies and minds travel through at the brink of death.
