Knack First Aid: A Complete Illustrated Guide

by Buck Tilton, Eli Burakian (Photographer), Stephen Gorman (Photographer)

Overview

Knack First Aid covers the most common injuries and illnesses, how to recognize them, how to manage them and, when appropriate, how to prevent them. By Buck Tilton, a trusted first responder and first aid expert who is the author of many FalconGuides and two Knack books, it also covers CPR and other emergencies that require immediate action if a life is to be saved. In addition, emergencies that are not always considered common, such as ones involving mental health, are discussed. Extensive, step-by-step photography takes the reader further than any such previous first aid guide.
