Critics Review

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)
