Críticas: Emergency Medicine Australasia, 01-DEC-05, Joseph Ting, MB BS (Qld), B Med Sci (Hons) -- "Medical Response to Terrorism: Preparedness and Clinical Practice is well timed (in the wake of the attacks on London), with seemingly unbridled escalation in terrorist activity, heightened societal awareness, and fear of, attack...This book provides a superb foundation upon which to base more practical, easy to use, site specific disaster algorithms and protocols for each jurisdiction or health-care facility."-Emergency Medicine Australasia The California Journal of Emergency Medicine, 01-JUL-05, Michael Casner, MD -- "Medical Response to Terrorism was written to provide 'expert guidance for preparing and responding to terrorist events,' and it largely succeeds. Gathering some of the world's experts on the medical response to terrorism, this book is a comprehensive and clearly organized resource for those in the medical profession who need to be prepared for the effects of a terrorist attack...The clarity and organization of this book would lend themselves to a quick reference guide."-The California Journal of Emergency Medicine The New England Journal of Medicine, 12-JAN-06, Volume 354, Karl M. Johnson, MD -- "Medical Response to Terrorism takes up the disparate challenges involved in coping with a terrorist assault on innocent civilians. "Tightly written, this book has a standard, detailed outline, numerous summary tables, and a short multiple-choice quiz at the end of each chapter. It is clearly a textbook for the many groups of individuals and organizations that will be called into action after an attack-whether chemical, biologic, or explosive-or even a hit on the computerized systems that run hospitals and communication networks. "This book is probably destined to be the basic textbook for training sessions supported by the Department of Homeland Security and various state agencies, and it would help immensely if it, like Biological Weapons Defense, were available as a CD-ROM, for immediate reference." -Targeting Bioterrorism, by Karl M.
