A new field of medicine has emerged as a result of the global
proliferation of terrorism. Terror medicine is related to emergency
and disaster medicine but focuses on the constellation of medical
issues uniquely related to terrorist attacks. The field encompasses
four broad areas: preparedness, incident management, mechanisms of
injuries and responses, and psychological consequences. In
Essentials of Terror Medicine, these core concerns are addressed by
a distinguished international authorship brought together by the
three editors of this volume, who themselves are recognized experts
in relevant disciplines: Shmuel Shapira, epidemiology and hospital
administration; Jeffrey Hammond, trauma surgery and emergency
response; Leonard Cole, bioterrorism and public policy. Essentials
of Terror Medicine provides insightful and practical information
for physicians, nurses, emergency responders, and other health
professionals who may be called to service during or after a terror
incident. It is indispensable reading for the medical community of
the 21st century, in which diligence, continued education, and
careful preparation for a variety of possible events are a
preeminent responsibility.
