About this title

Synopsis

This book aims to help clinicians who seek to conduct science and engineering based research on blast injuries as well as engineers and scientists who seek to apply their expertise to address blast injuries.

Blast injuries are prevalent. While the current conflict in Afghanistan is reaching its final stages, the legacy of landmines will sadly ensure that injuries and fatalities will continue to occur. The understanding of these injuries and the science behind their mitigation and treatment is a multi-disciplinary effort. Current knowledge has rapidly grown due to recent conflicts, yet the learning has not yet been captured in any formal way.

From the Back Cover

This useful book helps readers develop and strengthen their understanding of the basic science, engineering and medicine behind blast injuries. The multi-disciplinary team of authors bring together their knowledge to give detailed descriptions of how these basic approaches can be used to further the mitigation and treatment of blast injuries. New areas of application are also explored through a series of case studies, and extensive use of illustrations help explain key concepts.

Blast Injury Science and Engineering: A Guide for Clinicians and Researchers is a comprehensive interdisciplinary text aimed at clinical personnel needing a deeper understanding of injury mechanisms, those engaged in injury mitigation research, military scientists and engineers, as well as students of engineering, bioengineering and forensic science.
