Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. A very clean copy. How do health care workers manage disaster on an unprecedented scale?

The injured needed immediate treatment, buildings and equipment were badly damaged, aftershocks continued to rock the area, and communities were disrupted by flooding, liquefaction and fear.
