Very important book, but printed way too small to read (especially for us older guys). Would have chosen a large (say 11" or more) format, and perhaps with a binder that lets the pages lie flat. I subsequently purchased the Kindle version for my iPad, which at least has a larger display

The book offers clear directions and pictures. It is laid out so that you can flip to exactly the problem you are dealing with and read off the directions on one page instead of having to read a whole chapter when someone aboard is gouting blood everywhere. They also offer several different methods for each situation so if you don't have, for example, a SAM splint, you can still splint an injury using what you do have. I am glad to have this book on my boat.

I've been an offshore sailor since 1988, off and on, and in all that time I have been very frustrated by a wide range of largely mediocre medical references, to the point that I created my own First Aid Afloat reference (one page per issue, description/diagnosis, treatment, photo).

Prior to this book (WARNING NOTICE: this is a small book with SMALL print), my preference has been for The Onboard Medical Guide: First Aid and Emergency Medicine Afloat, in part because it comes with large pages, large print, and lots of white space. While this is the first NEW maritime medicine reference that meets my standards, I would have preferred a larger layout with larger print. This is a cargo pocket book.

Thank having been said, yesterday I had the pleasure of listening to Dr. Jacobs lecture the US Safety at Sea Seminar in Annapolis -- this is the premier US Sailing event of the year -- and today I had the further pleasure of an interactive session with the good doctor. I found him to not only be a superb professional, but the perfect gentleman whom I would recommend as a lecturer, mentor, and hands-on trainer.

Use Amazon's "Look Inside the Book" to review the extraordinary table of contents. Books such as Advanced First Aid Afloat, do not satisfy m; while I like the Red Cross online PDF including the color photographs, that could still do with some improvement.

An OK resource for lay people trying to cope with an injury that is beyond a cut. However, it does not substitute for taking a very good wilderness or ocean passage medical course. If having attended the latter, this is a good quick reference to refresh assessment and treatment techniques that are hazy - again for laypeople.

Added this to our on board library because it covers hazards encountered in the marine environment and how to deal with them when you can't call 911. Good companion to the Merck Manual of Home Health which covers all the usual things that go wrong with human bodies.
