Recenzii
From the reviews:
“This is an ambitious book on the many aspects of international disaster medicine. … Directed at healthcare workers, this book would be useful to a range of readers from physicians involved directly with patient care to support staff who fill more distant roles. … Chapters provide enough detail to give readers an appreciation of various aspects of disaster medicine. … authors do a nice job of balancing the need to cover a given topic with the need to keep the book reasonably sized and practical.” (Michael D. Zwank, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2013)

Humanity has experienced these problems throughout time and we have evolved methods and mechanisms for alleviating suffering, from trauma care following a traffic accident to international pacts and the Millennium Development Goals.
