Product Description

Essential for travellers going anywhere remote or challenging - fully revised and updated edition of the classic medical survival handbook. Too often travel to out-of-the-way places ends in difficulties - and most are avoidable. The key to avoiding accidents and illness is proper planning and preparation, and Expedition Medicine shows how that should be done. It also sets out what to do if things go wrong. This is the completely revised seventh edition. It has been comprehensively updated to take into account new research findings and medicines. It is written by world-class experts and is full of practical tips and advice, as well as extensive details about first-aid kits, emergency procedures and evacuation routines. There are sections on every type of travel, from desert to mountain, canoeing to diving and off-road driving to walking. Vaccinations, medicines and hygiene are all covered. It would be foolish for those who travel or work in remote and challenging environments not to study this book before starting off.

About the Author

Dr Sarah Anderson trained as a doctor in Cambridge and London. She has a diploma in tropical medicine and hygiene and has worked in Africa in hospitals and as a flying doctor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough & highly appropriate, 17 April 2007

By	Mr. A. P. Sherriff "Andy Sherriff" (North Wales, UK.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Expedition Medicine: The Royal Geographical Society with the Institute of British Geographers (Hardcover)

This is an excellent book for both pre-expedition training and to be carried on the trip. Not too bulky and containing highly relevant information .... everything from trauma to snake bite & heat illnesses. This is the main book I recommend to delegates on my remote environment first aid courses. I reckon that this should be your first purchase option!
