Moderate cover, edge wear. Pages very good, clean. A handbook on survival - a practical reference guide that belongs in every home. Natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, volcanoes, winter storms, and earthquakes ravage man's domain, causing death and suffering. Man-made disasters such as explosions, fires, and wars bring still more havoc. Accidents--at work, at home, and on the highways--are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States. One hundred and sixteen thousand accidental deaths and one million disabling injuries occur each year. Never have we witnessed such a need for emergency care for illness and injury. Among children alone, we find that although accident and death rates have been going downward since 1900, the proportion of deaths and injuries due to accidents has been increasing. In a recent year, four out of every ten children who died in this country were victims of trauma. Injuries have been the leading cause of death in children for over ten years. Prevention is better than treatment, but none of us is immune to illness, natural disaster, or human error. Sometimes medical help is immediately available in emergencies. But many accidents and disasters must be temporarily dealt with by lay people, who often have to maintain life and health without help. This book is not intended as a substitute for professional medical care. Its purpose is to help you--and to help you help others--cope with illness, disaster and injury when you must. 359 pages.
