"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."
