First Responder Chem-Bio Handbook

by Morgan Norval

This is the first book I have encountered in this area that appears to have been designed from the ground up as a handbook for first responders, rather than being designed along the lines of, and with frequent lifting of sections from, various military field manuals. The result is a handbook that presents the "must know" information concisely and in a format that allows it to be rapidly found without having to sift through a lot of background information (Tempest appears to have decided to let form follow function and has put the background in a separate book). Even the printing is good - large letters with enough white space to let you read it easily even under low light conditions.
