Ez a könyv része a Prospero 30. születésnapi ajánlatának. Ha 2024. október 6-án vagy 7-én a születésnapi listában szereplő (zöld lufis logóval megjelölt) könyvet rendel online (az internetes áruházban, kosárbatétel útján, onnan elküldve a könyvet), akkor csakis ezen a két napon minden ilyen könyvre 20% kedvezményt adunk.
Sőt, ha a vásár folyamán (lehetőleg egy rendelésben) legalább három ilyen könyvet rendel, a legalacsonyabb árú könyvre 30% kedvezményt fogunk a rendelés beérkezése után beállítani.
Ha rendelése(i) értéke a legalább három születésnapi könyvből elérné(k) a 100.000 Ft értéket áfa nélkül, akkor nem a legalacsonyabb, hanem a legmagasabb árú könyvre fogjuk beállítani a soha nem látottan magas, 30%-os kedvezményt.
(A 30%-os, különleges engedményt nem fogja látni a kosárban, azt munkatársaink a rendelés beérkezése után állítják be. Fontos, hogy a rendelés október 6-án vagy 7-én történjen, sem előtte, sem utána nem fogjuk tudni érvényesíteni a kedvezményt. A kedvezmény csak az 'Értesítés a kedvenc témákról' hírlevelünk címzettjeinek rendeléseire érvényes.)
Kérjük, hogy a születésnapi könyveit lehetőleg egy rendelésbe tegye, mert így könnyebb követnünk a kedvezményes rendelések összértékét, és azt, hogy melyik könyvre jár a 30% kedvezmény.

Hosszú leírás:

Ernsting's Aviation and Space Medicine applies current understanding in medicine, physiology and the behavioural sciences to the medical challenges and stresses that are faced by both civil and military aircrew, and their passengers, on a daily basis. The sixth edition of this established textbook and clinical reference has been revised and updated by a multidisciplinary team of experienced contributors, many new to this edition. The structure of the book has been refined, bringing related chapters together where appropriate, while the clinical content has been carefully streamlined in line with the specific requirements of the aviation medicine practitioner and adviser, with new chapters added on Commercial Space Travel, Skin Disease and Women?s Health.


Key Features:



  • Convenient ? embraces all aspects of aviation medicine in a single volume, divided into four parts for ease of reference: Aviation Physiology & Aircrew Systems, Space Physiology & Medicine, Clinical Aviation Medicine and Operational Aviation Medicine

  • Comprehensive ? covers all forms of military and passenger-carrying aircraft, including issues surrounding passenger safety and transport of the sick and injured

  • Aids detailed understanding ? focuses on the principles underlying the standards in the field rather than just the standards themselves

  • Applicable worldwide ? addresses international issues, including worldwide regulation of medical standards, and travel and disease

  • Accessible ? chapter summaries enable rapid assimilation of key points while key references and suggestions for further reading encourage in-depth learning

  • eBook included - text fully online and searchable via VitalSource eBook

The text remains the recommended coursebook for those studying for the Diploma in Aviation Medicine of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine of the Royal College of Physicians, recognized worldwide as an exemplary standard in the field, and for similar worldwide qualifications. It is an essential companion for all civil and military aviation medicine practitioners, both when preparing for professional examinations and in daily practice, and for those in the many disciplines of the behavioural and life sciences that include some study of aviation, its physiology and related issues. It is also recommended reading for those with a wider interest in the medical problems of professional or recreational flying, air transport and the aviation industry.



"Another home run hit, this latest edition of a classic continues to be an outstanding primer and reference for the aerospace medicine specialty. The many authors are globally recognized. Like previous editions, chapters are very well written and unambiguous. I particularly appreciated the ?Further reading? paragraph at the conclusion of each chapter. The online version is even easier to read and has convenient hyperlinks to figures, diagrams, references and original supporting articles. It is highly recommended for the library of every aerospace medicine specialist" David M. O?Brien and James W. Butler for the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.


"In the Preface, the editors state that their aim was to create "an accessible source of reference for practitioners in aerospace medicine", and this text certainly fulfils that aspiration. Many of the subject matter experts have returned to update their chapters for the 5th edition, and the layout has been adjusted to simplify the presentation of information. In summary, this textbook maintains the reputation of previous editions as a standard point of reference for those practising aviation medicine, or undertaking examinations in this field. As such, its place on the air station medical centre bookshelf is secure for the foreseeable future." Surgeon Lieutentant Commander Alexander Wrigley for The Journal of the Royal Navy Medical Service.


"This textbook really stands alone in the market for its comprehensive coverage of all aspects of aviation and space medicine. This edition has successfully refreshed existing content and also managed to reflect current developments in the industry. In summary, this is obviously the definitive reference textbook for those working in aviation medicine and remains the recommended text for candidates preparing for the diploma examination. However, there is also much to interest the general occupational physician and those working in safety critical fields in particular will find a great deal of valuable substance in this book which is applicable to other industries. The clinical content in particular is widely relevant. It would certainly make an extremely useful addition to any departmental or personal library." Lachlan Mackay Brown for Occupational Medicine.
