Victims of environmental injuries such as sunstroke, drowning and lightning strikes need urgent and expert attention as soon as possible to give them the best chance of regaining full health. Individual doctors, however, may see such cases only rarely, and may not be expert in their management. This book covers all the common environmental emergencies and their management, both at the scene and later in the hospital setting.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'Sometimes when a book appears, I wonder why no one wrote it before ... this book is going to remain relevant for a long time. It is stimulating to read, and the author has succeeded in writing at a level which does not presume a certain understanding, while not being too basic.' John Sloan, British Medical Journal, Volume 309, November 1994
