Synopsis:

Completely revised and updated, the new edition of this portable guide offers fast-access solutions to all of the medical situations that can occur in non-traditional settings. Based on Dr. Auerbach's critically acclaimed text "Wilderness Medicine, 5th Edition", this handbook is packed with how-to step-by-step explanations and the latest practical advice on diagnosis and treatment - emphasizing ways of improvising care with whatever materials you have available. It's small enough to be carried in a car's glove compartment or in your backpack - yet detailed enough to cover the clinical presentation and treatment of a full range of emergencies!
