The Science of Drowning: Perspectives on Intervention and Prevention explains how drowning is a more predictable and preventable process than we think. The book offers a significant departure from how drowning is traditionally treated by combining discussions of medical, prevention, and intervention issues, including the latest statistics; prevention and intervention techniques; and water safety strategies. This book provides valuable information on the risks of drowning and how to avoid them to those employed in aquatic environments, risk managers, lawyers, public safety officers, and healthcare professionals.
"…I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn more
about drowning and its prevention as a public health or water
safety issue… this is a "must have" book for those involved with
aquatic safety or those wanting to better understand how to prevent
drowning."
--Kenneth W. Kizer, MD, MPH, in Wilderness and Environmental
Medicine, Vol. 11, No. 1
