"Expedition and Wilderness Medicine covers everything a prospective field physician or medical consultant needs to prepare for when beginning an expedition. Divided into three parts "Expedition Planning," "Expeditions in Unique Environments," and "Illness and Injuries on Expeditions," - this unique book covers everything that the expedition physician needs to know."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: In this sequel to The Magpie Odyssey, Colleen Lorrah comes home to her family's sprawling Montana sheep ranch on the Crow Indian Reservation. Her Irish hero, MacCumhaill, has been killed in a vicious bombing in Ireland, and all her efforts to put the horror of this event behind her have failed. Her personal struggle to recover from grief drives her to seek refuge in one of the ranch's mountain line camps. Her family's close-knit history with the Crow Tribe provides her with partial answers and direction as she struggles with her wounded spirit. Guidance comes from parallels between Indian tradition and ancient Irish tribal legends, revealing knowledge long hidden from the modern world. New strength delivered to her from hidden sources helps her face the violence and danger that follows her from Ireland. Along the way, Colleen gathers power from ancient beliefs to defeat dark forces that threaten her survival. A final trip to Ireland must be made to bring the family birthright full circle and set the stage for the future of the Lorrah legacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Guide to Practicing Medicine in Challenging Environments Wilderness and Rescue Medicine: A Practical Guide for the Basic and Advanced Practitioner provides the critical insight and tools required to practice medicine in remote or challenging environments. There is no place in field medicine for unreasonable restrictions on the practical application of medical judgment—that is the guiding philosophy of this user-friendly guide. Wilderness and Rescue Medicine: A Practical Guide for the Basic and Advanced Practitioner teaches readers how to improvise, adapt and exercise reasonable judgment at any level of medical training and in any difficult environment, from the desert to the oceans, from the backwoods to cities stricken by disaster. Grounded in the collective wisdom of hundreds of instructors, rescue personnel and medical practitioners, this text explores medical problems in a broad wilderness context—including cold injuries, altitude illness, diving and lightening injuries and toxins, among others—and pairs that exploration with the realities of solving such problems in the field, well outside the confines and comforts of mainstream medicine. Wilderness and Rescue Medicine: A Practical Guide for the Basic and Advanced Practitioner provides: • The most up-to-date guidance on practicing medicine in a wilderness context • An introduction to critical body systems and the general principals of trauma • Specific information on environmental and backcountry medicine • An examination of the medical role in search and rescue missions

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mountain emergency medicine has seen exponential development due to the ever increasing number of people who hike or trek as well as practice extreme sports. Emergency physicians and nurses need to be equipped with the necessary training to be able to manage “on the field” accidents and sicknesses as well as their own physical security. Theoretical knowledge is generally of high level but practical expertise is dangerously lacking in many operators. Furthermore, treatment modalities on the field have not been completely codified and are not supported by internationally-accepted guidelines. This book is the first to offer a complete and thorough approach to this field of Emergency Medicine based on the latest research findings.

This book was released on 2024-07-21 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mountain Medicine: Herbal Wisdom of the Appalachians" is a captivating journey into the heart of one of America's most cherished natural landscapes, where the ancient art of herbalism intertwines with the rich tapestry of Appalachian culture. Through meticulous research, personal anecdotes, and expert insights, author Mr. Krause invites readers to explore the hidden wonders of the mountains, unlocking the secrets of centuries-old herbal traditions passed down through generations. The book begins with an immersive introduction to the Appalachian Mountains, painting a vivid picture of the region's geological diversity, ecological richness, and profound cultural significance. From the misty peaks to the lush valleys, readers are transported to a world where nature reigns supreme, and the healing power of plants is woven into the fabric of everyday life. Delving into the historical roots of Appalachian herbalism, Mr. Krause explores the profound influence of indigenous peoples, settlers, and folk healers on the region's herbal traditions. From the Cherokee to the Scots-Irish, each culture has left its mark on the landscape, shaping the way herbs are used, revered, and passed down through the ages. As readers journey deeper into the heart of the Appalachians, they discover a rich tapestry of herbal folklore, music, and traditions that celebrate the natural world in all its glory. From ballads sung in praise of ginseng to the time-honored rituals of wildcrafting, each page is infused with the spirit of the mountains and the wisdom of those who call it home. Moving beyond the realm of folklore, Mr. Krause provides readers with a comprehensive guide to the region's most notable herbs, from ginseng and goldenseal to black cohosh and bloodroot. Through detailed descriptions, photographs, and seasonal availability charts, readers learn how to identify, harvest, and harness the medicinal properties of these botanical treasures. But "Mountain Medicine" is more than just a guidebook, it's a celebration of the deep connection between humans and the natural world, a call to action to embrace sustainable foraging practices, and a testament to the resilience of Appalachian culture in the face of modernization. With chapters dedicated to herbal remedies for health and wellbeing, cultivating Appalachian herbs, and the modern practices of Appalachian herbalists, Mr. Krause offers readers a holistic understanding of herbalism that honors both tradition and innovation. Rich with personal reflections, practical advice, and timeless wisdom, "Mountain Medicine" is a must-read for anyone interested in the healing power of plants, the magic of the mountains, and the enduring spirit of the Appalachians.

Download or read book Medicine Trail written by Melissa Jayne Fawcett and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to the fictional account of James Fenimore Cooper, the Mohegan/Mohican nation did not vanish with the death of Chief Uncas more than three hundred years ago. In the remarkable life story of one of its most beloved matriarchs—100-year-old medicine woman Gladys Tantaquidgeon—Medicine Trail tells of the Mohegans' survival into this century. Blending autobiography and history, with traditional knowledge and ways of life, Medicine Trail presents a collage of events in Tantaquidgeon's life. We see her childhood spent learning Mohegan ceremonies and healing methods at the hands of her tribal grandmothers, and her Ivy League education and career in the white male-dominated field of anthropology. We also witness her travels to other Indian communities, acting as both an ambassador of her own tribe and an employee of the federal government's Bureau of Indian Affairs. Finally we see Tantaquidgeon's return to her beloved Mohegan Hill, where she cofounded America's oldest Indian-run museum, carrying on her life's commitment to good medicine and the cultural continuance and renewal of all Indian nations. Written in the Mohegan oral tradition, this book offers a unique insider's understanding of Mohegan and other Native American cultures while discussing the major policies and trends that have affected people throughout Indian Country in the twentieth century. A significant departure from traditional anthropological "as told to" American Indian autobiography, Medicine Trail represents a major contribution to anthropology, history, theology, women's studies, and Native American studies.
