| Abstract
|
:
|
This book is a sequel to The Management of Mass Burn Casualties and Fire Disasters by the same editors. Acknowledged by authorities as a breakthrough, the Bull. Am. Coll. Surg. pronounced it highly desirable as part of the world-wide effort to promote trauma care, while the Can. Med. Assoc. J. called it a `block-buster book that should be in every medical library in the country'. Like its predecessor, this book is a continuing reflection of commitment to the reduction of fire disasters and the improvement of burn therapy. The health professions have been continually developing effective management in burn therapy; in parallel, the community has been mobilizing fire prevention and fire fighting mechanisms that protect the environment from ever-increasing hazards of disasters. It was therefore surprising that, while aiming at the same objective, the two sectors had rarely worked in unison - until brought together successfully in that volume, a success that is now reinforced by the present book.
