A Must-Read For Our Times,
By Jerry Smith (Tucson, AZ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chemical and Biological Agents: Bomb Shelter Basics (Paperback)
Chemical and biological warfare is very much a real concern in our world. In the aftermath of 9-11, I found this book to contain very clear and easy-to-read information about how I can best protect myself and my family in the case of exposure to these toxic agents. The descriptions, symptoms, treatments and prevention are presented in a way that allows ordinary people like me to assess potentially dangerous situations quickly enough to possibly even save lives. The truth is that in many instances knowing the facts can reduce fear and keep damage at a minimum. The information in this book is presented in a way that is factual, concise and not sensationalized. I think in our current world situation that this book is a must-read for positively everyone!
