Injuries Books

Tilton & Bennett have produced a very good text for Mountaineers Books. Every out-door lover, wilderness hiker and mountain back packer should read "Don't Get Sick".

Through nine absorbing chapters they inform about all the various diseases (from staph to lyme disease to bubonic plague) one may contract from living out doors. The book is small and will fit into a pocket (take it with you for reference on your next trek). T & B's comfortable, and non technical, writing style allowed me to read all 108 pages in just one week of the National Scout Jamboree.

T & B identify many diseases, suggests cures, define periods for illness, and discuss how to shield one from sickness. They offers explanation about the four microbes that make us sick: viruses, bacteria, fungi and yeast, and protozoa. They also highlight their prevention and cures. More than a dozen graphs and tables illustrate healthy ways to avoid wilderness illness and how to set up a germ free living space. T & B also provide a helpful reference section, for each chapter, at the end of the book (demonstrating their state of the art research).

With 20+ years of wilderness hiking and pack backing experience I was delighted to learn more from T & B. For example, tetanus lives in the soil (just another reason not to go bare footed in unfamiliar environments), on page 23. And sixty-six percent of all raw poultry contains salmonella (cook it thoroughly), page 62.

This book is recommended to all who spend time hiking, eating, and sleeping in the wilderness. If you enjoy the outdoors, T & B will help you love it more with good health.

It's a great book written by Henry Heimlich and Lawrence Galton. You have the first names with the wrong people.

I am starting to get involved in offering neuropsychological rehabilitation for children after brain injury here at the Oliver Zangwill Centre in Ely, England. It was such a relief to discover this book has been written and that it is of consistently good quality throughout. I think that it should be sent to the school of any child who returns to school after brain injury, and that the teachers are given time to read it. At this stage, where I'm new to this aspect of brain injury rehab, I think it covers all the main topics. Seems like good value as well!

While searching for ways to help my TBI son, I discovered this book with concrete strategies for meeting the myriad of challenges facing the brain injured student. For example, a review of basic cognitive processing and typical deficits is followed with a list of 11 intervention strategies to be used in the classroom. Similarly memory deficits, planning and organizational difficulties, sequencing problem solving, and general classroom recomendations are covered. I am purchasing this book to give to all my son's teachers as they face the challenge of how to help him learn with his "new" brain.

Excellent source of recent evidence-based information on electrotherapy.
Many improvements compared with the eleventh edition.
A great downloadable image bank.

Being a physician in Critical care, trauma has been an achillees heel.This book provides lucid thinking which stimulates further thinking.The prioritization of management is well explained and justified with an evidence base.

emt review is the best review book. please take my word it is the best

The new updated edition of Equine Injury, Therapy and Rehabilitation is a winner for the horse-riding community, fully updating technological advances in diagnostic ability and animal physiology. In addition to a foundation of equine anatomy it surveys common equine and rider injuries, explains rehabilitation and recovery processes, and describes all manner of horse physiology in the process. A 'must' for any serious horse library.

If you need a brief, compact and logical explanation in trauma problems, don't hessitate buying it. It helps you memorizing sometimes monotonic topics that seem to be all the same. It brought freshness into my trauma study, I started to like trauma more after reading this book.

The price was good and the book was brand new. I got the book within 5 business days! I saved both time and money purchasing this book through Amazon. Great Deal!
