Book Reviews of First Responder (8th Edition)
Book Review: Terrific format!
Summary: 5 Stars
We are using this manual to upgrade the skills of a group of volunteer fireman in a rural area. Very few of them have experienced any kind of advanced education or medical background. The book's format is set up in a very user-friendly style. For example, key definitions are listed along side the text in the margins. Each chapter has a set of summary questions with answers that can be checked in the back of the book. Also included in the back of the book is a large, detailed appendix, as well as a glossary. The beginning of the chapters each has a set of objectives coordinating to the formal standards expected of emergency response personnel set by the U.S. Dept. Of Transportation, which directly ties the book's information to practical application in certification examinations. Academic terminology, such as "cognitive objectives" are also rephrased as "information from knowledge," mores are listed as "changing attitudes, values and beliefs," and "psychomotor skills" as "demonstrated skills," thereby familiarizing the layman with formal terminology without undue intimidation or confusion. Medical terminology is also used side-by-side with common terms, again familiarizing students to formal medical language they will likely encounter in their association with advanced emergency caregivers. A CD is included, which I have been told contains additional quizzes and resources, and there is reference to a website as well, neither of which I have personally investigated. Additional study resources are also given in the text's introduction, such as workbooks and examination preparation materials. Overall, I found that a complex topic was presented in an orderly, user-friendly format suitable for those of most levels of previous upper-academic and/or medical experience, from little or none through college degreed and experienced professionals already practicing in a related field.
