Book Description

January 2007 1588901874 978-1588901873 1
The first book specifically designed to lead you through identification of the most likely biological or chemical weapons used in a bioterrorist attack.

Through an easily accessible cross-referencing chart, you will be able to look up suspicious symptoms presented by unexpected clusters of patients, and then quickly find detailed descriptions of the most likely causes. The book lists and describes 43 biological and chemical weapons in detail, including clinical and laboratory identification, treatment, and personal precautions.

BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL TERRORISM is:

* Comprehensive - the single most complete description of biological and chemical weapons available

* Easy-to-use - valuable tear-out charts of biological and chemical weapons, lists of internet sites, and CDC telephone numbers are designed to be posted and referred to at-a-glance

* Quick and concise for use at any stage of an attack - whether in preparation beforehand or taken off the shelf during an actual emergency

* The first published text to include chemical warfare identification and treatment

* Written by two experts with unparalleled and broad-ranging knowledge of these weapons

Whether you are a primary care physician, nurse practitioner, ER physician, or any other firstline healthcare provider, you will benefit from this practical and authoritative guide. It is the only book available today to give you the complete information necessary to handle a bioterrorist emergency with speed, accuracy, and confidence.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

-Begins with the assumption that no one is aware of an attack and, through descriptions and charts, makes healthcare providers more sensitive to the possibility of an attack.
-There is use of a syndromic cross reference, which allows readers to look up suspicious symptoms presented by unexpected clusters of patients. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Biological and Chemical Terrorism: A Guide for Healthcare Providers and First Responders, November 25, 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Biological and Chemical Terrorism: A Guide for Healthcare Providers and First Responders has a wealth of information for healthcare professionals. One of the keys to a successful counter to terrorism is preparation, and this is emphasized in the book. Planning for the worst can ameliorate its affects. I also met with the author and discussed topics contained in the book. The tables in the book are particularly useful in making a diagnosis in time to save a patients life. Not everything with flu like symptoms is the flu. Everyone who has an interest in the subject of biological and chemical terrorism should read this book. I give this book five stars.
