American Medical Association Handbook of First Aid and Emergency Care Paperback – May 5, 2009
Author: American Medical Association ID: 1400007127

From Library Journal

This much-needed revision of the AMA’s Handbook (LJ 10/1/80) ranks as one of the best in a plethora of first-aid guides. The previous edition’s introductory essays on general procedures have been retained, but this edition has added sections on such things as the Heimlich maneuver. The main section, alphabetically arranged entries on injuries and diseases, is in the same format as the previous edition; each entry includes background information, a “what to do” list, symptoms, continued care, and immediate treatment. A new section on sports injuries has been added as Part 3. Although designed for home use (with fill-in charts for emergency phone numbers and family member medical history), this book has a place on the shelf of any medical reference collection.

Part I of this book includes planning for emergencies. Topics covered are safeguarding your home against accidents, what to tell medical personnel when an emergency situation occurrs and medical charts to fill out for family members.
Emergency procedures, i.e., CPR and the Heimlach Maneuver, are highlighted with red on the edge of the book for quick reference.
Other areas covered are recognizing medical problems, snake and insect bites and sports injuries.
This is a great book to keep with a First Aid Kit.

Very informative and up to date information. I learned a lot more in this book than in taking a first aid class. Illustrations are used when needed to explain how to perform a technique. It is a good tool to have if you want to be prepared for an emergency situation or even if you want to know how to dress a minor wound.

This book is great for when little Jimmy scrapes his knee. This book is great when you have a medical professional 5 minutes away. If you are looking for survival/emergency guide this is not it.

Major spoilers ahead, folks. Read at your own risk.

What is it with these YA books that cause me so much cognitive dissonance? I find it so bizarre when I read a book, adore it, eagerly anticipate the sequels, and am ultimately left dazed and confused, wondering how the heck I got here in the first place. It’s like I got on a plane to go on a trip to Paris but when I disembark I find myself slogging through sewers. I’m very sorry to say that Penryn and the End of Days fits this bill. The first book was so amazing, and I loved it and gushed over it so much that I keep wondering if I was hallucinating or something, because I sure don’t want to gush over this book. Where the second book was disappointing, this one was a complete letdown.

What happened to Penryn? When did her personality transplant occur? I don’t remember too much about the second book, other than that I didn’t like it much and was afraid it was going in a bad direction, so I can’t speak to her character in that book. I do remember, though, that the character in this book bears very little resemblance to the character in that first book. Penryn goes from hard and kick ass, responsible for protecting her family, to a self-absorbed lovesick teenager. What gives? I could totally understand her feeling some ambivalence about the drastic change her sister has gone through, and this book gives some lip service to Penryn’s wanting to save her, but mostly she doesn’t worry about it because she’s too busy mooning over Raffe.

Why? Why do YA novels do this constantly? Yes, we’re idiots in love, and, yes, love can make us do stupid things, but when young women are dedicated to something and committed to it, falling in love is not going to make them chuck everything else away with both hands.
You know what I didn’t know existed? Such an amazing ending to an absolutely amazing series. You all know how much it sucks when a series you loved has a huge let down of a finale, or is just utterly underwhelming. You wont find that here. This is an example of a very well wrapped up series.

We jumped right back into the devastated world with Penryn. From the first sentence, the book moved forward at a fast, intense pace. There was never a dull moment. This book had it all. Epic, bloody, gory fighting. Humor. Swoon worthy romance. It all melted together so perfectly, creating an extraordinary finale.

Just when you thought the characters couldn’t get better, they do! We got to see so much more of Paige and Mom. Mom… she became one to be reckoned with! Paige, who you have this soft spot in your heart for, really steps into what has happened to her, and becomes a fierce little girl. I LOVED having her floating around so much. I still love Dee and Dum! OMG I love their banter and crazy ideas. They always add an element of humor to the story, which helps keep things from being bogged down in darkness.

You know who else has a good sense of humor? Raffe

How do you improve perfection? Lets ask Susan Ee, because she just did it. He finally started giving in to his feelings, and it was beautiful. Raffe and Penryn together is just…. everything. Every second that they were apart was torture. I may have also experienced one of the most intense make-out sessions I have seen in a YA novel. WHEW! Though that may be just because I want them together so desperately that the smallest moments between them seem hugely intense. They sacrificed so much for each other, and faced heaven and hell to save each other and humanity.
