During any medical emergency the actions taken during the first 10 minutes are the most critical, and this is especially true during a terrorist attack. Medical professionals are unavailable during these crucial first minutes, so it's up to you to learn the skills to be a medical "first responder" and take the appropriate action until help arrives. This book will show you how.

Although written specifically for use during a terrorist attack, it is invaluable in handling any medical emergency. It provides precise instructions for assessing and treating burns, responding to impact or blast injuries, preserving severed limbs, controlling bleeding, decontaminating people exposed to toxic chemicals, administering CPR to adults, children and even pets, and much more. It also trains caregivers on how to protect themselves from explosive devices or exposure to chemical, biological or nuclear contamination while treating others. Included are checklists of supplies that you should have on hand in your home, office and vehicle for urgent situations, as well as directions for improvising medical equipment from readily available items at the scene.

First-Response Medicine for Terrorist Attacks should be in every home, business, government office, school and vehicle in the country.

This revised and updated edition of Maritime Terror is designed to help modern seamen—from commercial ship captains to yacht owners—formulate that plan. It offers sound advice on how to recognize and defend against a broad range of threats—from stowaways to terrorist suicide attackers. Drawing on decades of naval and SEAL team training and professional experience, the authors provide guidance on detecting, deterring, and, if necessary, destroying maritime attackers.

Terrorists have in recent years used deadly biological and chemical agents to attack civilian and government targets – ricin, a highly potent toxin, was delivered via mail to a Senate office building in Washington, D.C., in early 2004 – and the ever-present threat of a nuclear incident is chilling to any sane person. Names such as anthrax and sarin have become frighteningly familiar, but how many people know how to identify and treat the effects of these weapons of terror?

Matt Bolinger, MD, combats fear with knowledge, presenting relevant and useful facts on likely nuclear, biological and chemical agents of terror. This book includes detailed descriptions of 29 toxins, viruses, gases and other agents that could be used against individuals or large populations; the symptoms these agents produce; treatment options; and ways to prevent exposure. Also included are exam questions to help you test your comprehension. Do you know which antibiotics should be used during plague outbreaks? What to do in the event of a smallpox epidemic? The symptoms of ricin exposure? How to prevent radiation poisoning? How to disinfect water contaminated with botulinum toxin or cholera? This easy-to-follow book could save your life.

Matt Bolinger, MD, is an epidemiologist and conducts disease outbreak and field investigations for three counties in the southwestern United States. Most of his time is spent on disease surveillance (with an emphasis on bioterrorism) and analysis of population disease statistics. He has extensive training in symptomatic recognition and tracking of a bioterror agent release.
