  • ""This brand-new reference offers comprehensive yet succinct guidance on the preparation, assessment, and management of a full range of disasters, both natural and man-made (including the threat of terrorist attack and the use of chemical, biological, and nuclear weapon systems.) Dr. Ciottone - recognized worldwide as an authority in the field - presents a full range of coverage from the basics of disaster medicine to more advanced concepts, such as tactical EMS, hazard vulnerability analysis, impact of disaster on children, and more." "Part 1 of the book gives you an "A-Z" source for information on every aspect of disaster medicine and management. Part 2 features an exhaustive compilation of every conceivable disaster event, organized to facilitate fast reference in a real-time setting. Part 2 also serves as your quick consult on disaster medicine.""
  • ""Some 200 international specialists in disaster medicine and management contribute 190 succinct chapters on preparing for, assessing, and managing natural and man-made disasters. The text opens with an overview of disaster medicine and management and the multiple disciplines that come together to prepare for and respond to such catastrophic events, and includes information about relevant non-medical subjects with which healthcare professionals should also be familiar. The second half of the text focuses on specific disaster scenarios and the management issues surrounding each: all types of natural disasters; nuclear/radiation, chemical, and biologic events; bacterial and viral agents; toxins; events resulting in blast, burn, and ballistics injuries; structural collapse/crashing/crushing; and other events and combination events. For emergency medicine physicians, residents, and nurses; primary care physicians; surgeons; EMS/paramedics; and infectious disease specialists."--Annotation :2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)."
  • ""This new volume includes Individual Concepts and Events sections that provide information on the general approach to disaster medicine and practical information on specific disasters. You'll also find an exhaustive list of chapters on the conceivable chemical and biologic weapons known today, as well as strategies for the management of future events, or possible scenarios, for which there is no precedent."--Jacket."
