Product Description
The book portion of this title is a reproduction of the highly acclaimed "Blue Book" written by the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute Of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) at Fort Detrick, Maryland - "Medical Management Of Biological Casualties Handbook" newly revised Fourth Edition, February 2001. In the introduction, the authors state: "The global biological warfare threat is serious, and the potential for devastating casualties is high for certain biological agents. There are at least 10 countries around the world currently that have offensive biological weapons programs. However, with appropriate use of medical countermeasures either already developed or under development, many casualties can be prevented or minimized. The purpose for this handbook is to serve as a concise manual that will guide medical personnel in the prophylaxis and management of biological casualties. It is designed as a quick reference and overview." The handbook, with 124 pages, covers every bacterial and viral agent, with important information on prevention and treatment. Please see the Table of Contents link on this page for additional content details.
With the handbook we're including our best-selling CD-ROM, "21st Century Complete Guide to Bioterrorism, Biological and Chemical Weapons, Germs and Germ Warfare, Nuclear and Radiation Terrorism - Military Manuals and Federal Documents with Practical Emergency Plans, Protective Measures, Medical Treatment and Survival Information" (ISBN 1-931828-09-1). This incredible CD-ROM provides the best, most up-to-date and comprehensive collection available anywhere of official information and documents on the threats posed by terrorism and weapons of mass destruction: bioterror agents like anthrax, smallpox, and plague; chemical agents including nerve gas; military and improvised nuclear weapons; radiological weapons; and radiation from nuclear facility sabotage and accidents. It is an encyclopedic collection of manuals, handbooks, self-study courses, government plans and programs, and reference works including virtually every public domain document pertaining to every aspect of the risk to civilians from terrorism, and to military personnel in warfare. Over 30,000 pages in 146 documents (occupying over 600 MB) from all major Federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, U.S. Army, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Dept. of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Dept. of Energy, Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), EPA, and GAO give detailed, useful, practical, current information on the NBC (nuclear, biological, and chemical) threat.
The documents on the CD-ROM are reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software - allowing direct viewing on Windows and Apple Macintosh systems. Reader software is included on the CD.
