Operations in the field, negotiations between governments and relief organizations, and planning and training sessions all require collaboration among people from various disciplines using different terminologies. Without a common lexicon, misunderstandings and other communication errors can lead to the loss of valuable time, scarce resources, and lives--and during an era marked by climate disasters, warfare, industrial accidents, and threats of bioterrorism, the stakes are increasingly high. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is in this spirit that the original \u003ci\u003eDictionary of Disaster Medicine and Humanitarian Relief\u003c\/i\u003e was assembled, and the same holds true for this timely Second Edition. This practical resource boasts more than twice the number of entries as the first edition: definitions, abbreviations, and acronyms covering all phases of humanitarian aid, from planning and preparedness to rescue and recovery. Its contents have been field-tested across the emergency intervention community, and are as useful in communicating with the media and the public as with colleagues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis expanded edition of the \u003ci\u003eDictionary of Disaster Medicine and Humanitarian Relief \u003c\/i\u003eably follows its predecessor as an authoritative resource for researchers and professionals in global health, health promotion, public health, public health policy, and disaster management. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274617217175,"sku":"9781461444442","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781461444442.webp?v=1769280456","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/dictionary-of-disaster-medicine-and-humanitarian-relief-9781461444442","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
