Management of Burns and Fire Disasters Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Burns and Fire Disasters

This book is a sequel to The Management of Mass Burn Casualties and Fire Disasters by the same editors. Acknowledged by authorities as a breakthrough, the Bull. Am. Coll. Surg. pronounced it highly desirable as part of the world-wide effort to promote trauma care, while the Can. Med. Assoc. J. called it a 'block-buster book that should be in every medical library in the country'. Like its predecessor, this book is a continuing reflection of commitment to the reduction of fire disasters and the improvement of burn therapy. The health professions have been continually developing effective management in burn therapy; in parallel, the community has been mobilizing fire prevention and fire fighting mechanisms that protect the environment from ever-increasing hazards of disasters. It was therefore surprising that, while aiming at the same objective, the two sectors had rarely worked in unison - until brought together successfully in that volume, a success that is now reinforced by the present book.Masellis, M. is the author of 'Management of Burns and Fire Disasters Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Burns and Fire Disasters' with ISBN 9780792388876 and ISBN 0792388879.
