Aviation
Medicine This is the third, and most
recent (1999), edition of the aviation medicine 'bible'. It has slimmed
down somewhat since the second edition (Ernsting & King 1988) but
is no less valuable as both a text and an aviation medicine resource book. |

Fundamentals
of Aerospace Medicine I've not yet had a thorough look at the second edition but I found the first edition a bit of a disapointment compared with Ernsting & King's "Aviation Medicine". All the same it's a "must have" on any aviation medicine specialist's shelves and does cover some areas better than Aviation Medicine. |

Man
in Flight : Biomedical Achievements in Aerospace This is still one of my favourite
books in the field. It's a great historical treatise on how we got to
where we are. |

A startling 70% of flight accidents are linked to pilot error, making human factor the subject of intense scrutiny. The definitive text on the interaction of mind and body with the flying environment, this essential second edition is updated and expanded with the latest research and case studies of actual accidents/incidents. New or expanded chapters are included on situational awareness, human factors of automation, CRM, and more. Other topics include atmosphere, altitude physiology, vision, hearing and vibration, disorientation, environmental stresses, and jet lag and fatigue. A separate Instructor's Disk containing practical exercises, course objectives, and test and review questions is available exclusively to academic instructors ordering classroom quantities.

Clinical
Aviation Medicine
A useful text although a little dated and tends to take a somewhat conservative, military style, approach. |

Mosby's
Emergency and Flight Nursing Review |

|
|
By the author: I am an investigative reporter and the co-author of this book, which is based on research gathered by Riki Stevens during her 23-year career as a flight attendant for a major U.S. airline. Riki also served on several committees for her flight attendants' union and has interviewed many pilots, aviation experts, and government officials in preparing this book. We believe it is the most comprehensive and accurate summary of the health and safety risks today's commercial air passengers face when they fly. We have put a positive spin on our findings by making specific suggestions on what you, the passenger, can do to minimize your risk of discomfort, disease, injury, or death while aboard a commercial airliner. This advice is based on the most current data and clinical studies, provided to us by physicians, nutritionists, and aviation safety consultant |

Culture
at Work in Aviation and Medicine : National, Organizational and Professional
Influences From The Publisher: The importance of culture-based attitudes, such as the degree of readiness to challenge, as well as to respect superiors and to assume authority in crimes, has an obvious and direct bearing on team effectiveness, not only in aviation and medical operating theaters, but in all complex industries. The authors investigate and describe a range of cultural attributes, and the consequent impact on the quality of the individual and team performance. National, organizational, and professional cultural influences are all considered in the light of the wealth of results derived from the authorsÕ research in aviation and medical environments. |
