This is an entertaining, up-to-date and practical guide to the appearance, distribution and behaviour of dangerous Australian wildlife. Although most of the ‘accidents’ described in this book are preventable, accidents do happen — so the first-aid measures described here could be life-saving! The book meets the need for a palatable, easy-to-use reference. With medical management kept to the essential information required to treat human and animal victims, and only a limited use of technical terms, it is ideal for students and as a standby when on holiday. pp. 201 illusts #0920 ISBN 10: 1864470763ISBN 13: 9781864470765
