Rezensionen

"This book should be on the shelf at every
hospital and county health department in agricultural
communities, and at every referral
center that receives patients from these communities...Chapter
1 presents a superlative
overview of
the broad topic of
agricultural medicine...
This chapter is a
must-read?indeed,
should be required
reading in medical
schools...There are other features of this volume that
enhance its value. It is well referenced...amply illustrated...Prevention
is a theme throughout the book...its emphasis is farmer occupational safety.
Offering a global perspective, its relevance
is not limited to health care professionals in
North America or Europe. The presentation
is eminently practical, typified by the instructions
on assembling an agricultural first aid
kit...Health conditions of significance to farm
workers are discussed at suitable length:
not too concise, not too detailed." (Family Medicine June 2017)
