staying up to date
much of the book is not of up to date usage

The Wilderness First Responder by Buck Tilton
I have read many books and articles on first aid in the wilderness but none compare to Mr. Titlon's commons sense practicle approach.He does a very good job explaining what is approriate in the wilderness versus an urban setting.He also is very explicit in his directions on how to provide care.

Mr. Titlon also does a good job in organizing the book.One chapter feeds into the next.

In general I prefer the WFR course to be a conducted after someone is certified as a medical first responder so that they understand the legal differences.If you need to take both at the same time, this is an excellent course book.

great outdoors
Our family loves being outdoors.Some of our best family memories are of hiking and camping.Lately though, we are being more conscious of the dangers of insect bites.What used to seem like a simple mosquito bite or tic can lead to West Nile Virus and Lime Disease.All the information floating around just makes us more afraid.We have been searching for a guide that could tell us what we needed to know- this is finally it!This book is easy to read and has all the up-to-date information.It is interesting to just sit and read if you really want to learn more on insects and disease, but if you want to look up something quick, like I usually do, it is a great resourse. I recommend it for anyone who enjoys spending time outside.The illustrations are great too.This one is definately coming along for our next hiking or camping trip!

Stop bugs
This book has it all, from how to know what's biting, how to change your house so you have less problems, to how to use insecticides and repellents. The sections on insecticides and on natural repellents were well-balanced -- they did not make claims of absolute safety or absolute danger, but they discussed the fears and doubts that people often have about those kinds of treatments. The authors attempted to give advice that would be good anywhere in the world.

Unlike a field guide, this book leads a person through all the issues that are important. It seems to be designed to be read from cover to cover by a person who knows very little about bugs. ... Read more

For the megacities of the world- Tall Building Checklist!
for investors, managers, and inspectors of tall buildings, this is anexceptionally useful book. Mr. Graighead combines his Australian roots andhis California experience in a clear guide to fire safety and securitymanagement of these "vertical villages." I have quoted from thiswork in forums around the world, and have made this book a special presentfor colleagues in the fire service and architecture and "authoritieshaving jurisdiction." It is a how- to and why guide to active systems.I recommend it highly. And, given that so many skyscrapers are now beingbuilt in Asia and in Latin America, I hope this is translated into Chinese,Korean, Spanish and Portuguese.- Richard A.
