This App may also be useful for the sophisticated adventurer both for planning and while en route. This work is a product of the tireless contributions by many practitioners in their respective areas of expertise. All of us on the editorial team are profoundly grateful for their willingness to share their passion, enthusiasm, and wisdom with our readers, who will appreciate the practical guidance provided.We are grateful for the expert assistance and contribution of our copy editors from Mayo Scientific Publications (Alissa Baumgartner, John Hedlund, Angie Herron, and Ann Ihrke) and Kenna Atherton, manager- Scientific Publications. We also acknowledge the excellent visual art created and formatted for this work by our media support services group artists and gifted illustrators Tom Bibby and Marvin Ruona. As editors we are grateful for the support of our colleagues, friends and most importantly the patience of our families, who have been supportive as we worked on this project ver many weekends and evenings.The advent of devices and systems that allow for effective presentation of video, text, and image content in a highly portable electronic form has been the incentive to embark on the project to assemble the wide breadth of this work. The work before you encompasses areas of Wilderness Medicine, Aerospace Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, key concepts of Survival, Psychology and many other clinical specialty areas of expertise in the civilian and military realm. We hope this reference will serve the provider and interested public as a resource at the point of need in challenging environments.This reference application will be updated on a regular basis and content will be added in future releases of the App as user need dictates.The app is organized into three main sections, comprised of standard chapters and a keyword search capability for retrieval of pertinent information.We are very interested to hear from our users, so we can continually improve the content to best serve the needs of our readers.It is our hope that with this approach we can bring additional information to where it is needed, following the primary value of the Mayo Clinic:"The needs of the patient come first"
