Doody's Core Titles® 2022"If you can only afford to buy one textbook this year, make it Auerbach's Wilderness Medicine"2017 BMA Awards: The BMA Illustrated Book Award"This is the essential book for healthcare providers wishing to enhance their knowledge of urgent or emergency self-care and/or care for the masses during personal travel, exploration, or medical relief situations. The pairing of the print book with online access provides readers the portability required for world travel. This seventh edition is essential to present current state-of-the-art and cutting-edge information. As an emergency medicine physician and wilderness medicine enthusiast, I turn to Auerbach's as the authoritative gold standard." - Keith D Henry, MD, FAAEM (Regions Hospital and Level 1 Trauma Center) for Doody’s Review ServicesReview of the previous edition:"There is a reason a book makes it to a sixth edition. This is the definitive book on wilderness medicine. It is an excellent, thorough book on critical and exciting concepts in this still expanding realm. The topics are concise yet cover a broad spectrum of environments and clinical situations not commonly seen. A number of the subjects are not exclusive to wilderness situations and are applicable to everyday life in the emergency room and hospital. Although the book is large and heavy, possibly limiting its use in the field, the online version (access is provided with the purchase of the book) may be a viable option for those with portable devices." - Michael D.

'Wilderness Medicine,' edited by Paul S. Auerbach, professor of surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine's emergency division, has the answers." - Laura Landro, Wall Street Journal
