Oxford Handbook Of Disaster Medicine - 2012.pdf
Disasters are difficult to manage for many reasons: the
immediacy of the event, magnitude of the event, lack of evidence-based
practices, and the limited usefulness of many developed protocols.
Consequently, combining academic approaches with realistic and practical
recommendations continues to be an underdeveloped aspect of disaster texts. The
Oxford American Handbook of Disaster Medicine offers a functional blend of
science with pragmatism. Approached from a real-world perspective, the handbook
is a portable guide that provides sufficient scientific background to
facilitate broader application and problem solving yet approach the topic in a
prioritized fashion, supporting rapid understanding and utilization.
Contributing authors are clinical and public health providers with disaster
experience. This book encompasses the entire scope of disaster medicine from
general concepts and fundamental principles to both manmade and natural
threats.
