if you need a good introductory text on human physiology to get some
underlying understanding I can recommend 'Human Anatomy and
Physiology' by Elaine N Marieb. It is published by Pearson Benjamin

I've got several physiology/toxicology text books but I can't see a
reference to _viscosity_ changes in endolymph with alcohol. Are you
sure you mean viscosity and not density?

I mean exactly what I wrote.

human factors stuff is reasonably new. it is probable that the
research in the human factors work doesnt make it into the other text
books because it is fairly specialised.
btw I dont quote human factors books because I was taught this stuff
in my commercial pilot studies. it is standard modern australian
commercial level aviation knowledge.

Reasonably new? like is WWII reasonably new? Considering WWII planes
were designed around human factors, ergonomics and included designs from
the input of physiologists, kinesiologists and biomechanists?
