Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This ABC introduces medicine in areas of conflict or natural disaster responding to the growing number of regions affected. Chapters deal with subjects such as earthquakes and landslides as well as nuclear incidents and biological warfare both nationally and internationally. It covers both logistical planning and medical aid as well as post-conflict recovery, offering psychological as well as medical and public health support. Prepares aid workers for a range of roles in all possible situations. Review:"...an easy to read and interesting basic text that offers readers signposts to many relevant websites and references...One of the greatest strengths of the ABC of Conflict and Disasteris the attention it pays to the psychological aspects of disaster and conflict recovery, an often overlooked aspect of humanitarian relief work. The use of interesting and varied colour photographs throughout the book also illustrates the horrors and reality of this specialist area." Emergency Nurse, May 2006 Synopsis:This ABC introduces medicine in areas of conflict or natural disaster responding to the growing number of regions affected.
