This text was required for my grad school Crisis Management and Emergency Preparedness nursing class. It has been a great resource and a nice addition to the comprehensive overview needed for understanding this field of study.

Needed the book for grad school. It was in good shape and easy to navigate. Even though the class has ended, I am keeping the book at home as a guide for emergencies. I am not a nurse, so it is a great reference manual. I am also becoming FEMA-certified, so the book's topics make it easy for me to understand the continuing education material by both FEMA and the Dept. of Homeland Security.

The book I ordered has a pink sharpie all over the text. So it was not new and somebody else used it before. I am a guy and I hate using pink sharpie. URGGGHHH… Thanks for making me pay 24 bucks, I should have ordered a used book for $ 1.70… Now I can't even return it because my classes have already started. Thanks a lot!!!!!!!
