Rezension zu „Conflict and Catastrophe Medicine “
Conflict and Catastrophe Medicine: A Practical Guide is a very useful book for all physicians, nurses and paramedics as well as other medical professionals who consider or plan to join the ranks of many thousands of humanitarian aid workers working in almost every conflict and disaster area in the world. This book would also be an excellent entry-level course book for various introductory courses, work-shops and other educational activities preparing medical professionals for humanitarian aid work. (Scandinavian Journal of Surgery 91, 2002) "It has been a pleasure to review this book, which, as a result of its obvious expertise and the detailed nature of the coverage, I consider to be the foremost in the field. It should be on the shelves, but more importantly, in the luggage of everyone who intends working in a potentially hostile environment. For medical practitioners and aid workers involved with health, it is indispensable." (Professor Ewan Anderson, Durham University, UK) " This unique and remarkable book covers the whole range of medical and related issues concerning international conflicts...A unique resource of enormous value to many people, this book deserves the widest readership. All desk officers, programme and field directors of health-related programmes and any healthcare workers heading for conflict situations should have access to this book." (Ted Lankester, Director of InterHealth).
