Relevant to Terrorism Preparedness
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This book is very relevant to today's prehospital environment. There is a wealth of information, especially considering the book predates 9/11. The sections on radiological and nuclear effects are second to none, and the chemical and biological sections are also good. The text has a strong section on conventional terror weapons and treatment of same. This would make a nice addition to any EMS library.
A Sign of the Times
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Given the events of September 11, 2001, there is no better text to read on the emergency care of WMD than this book. Intended for prehospital audiences, this information-packed book might also appeal to doctors and nurses. It covers the nuclear, biological and chemical weapons threats, and it has several good chapters on conventional explosive threats and burns. The excellent integration of WMD care into standard civilian prehhospital practice reflects the backgrounds of the authors, both (according to the bios) of whom have extensive EMS experience.A must read for ANY prehospital/EMS or emergency care provider, regardless of job or positiion. This stuff is too improtant not to be well-versed in, and this book is the right ticket.
