Wilderness Medicine: Beyond First Aid, by William W. Forgey.

Traveling into the backcountry - even day hikes - requires first aid supplies and the knowledge necessary to use them. This book tells how to recognize, assess, and treat many kinds of medical emergencies in the wilderness and is useful to beginners as well as professionals. The author is president of the Wilderness Medical Society and assistant clinical professor of family medicine at Indiana University School of Medicine. Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR.
