Slim enough to fit in your pocket and yet filled with handy medical advice, Mountaineering Medicine is designed for use specifically in the backcountry. The text and diagrams are no-frills and to the point. Whether experiencing blisters from a long day on the trail or a serious medical emergency, this guide offers the sort of practical advice--without a lot of technical jargon and unnecessary background info--that is essential when alone or beyond modern medical help.
