The Praeger Handbook of Occupational and Environmental Medicine: Practice insights. 17. Diseases and health protection

The Praeger Handbook of Occupational and Environmental Medicine captures the full scope of this discipline in a way no other comprehensive work can match. It combines three volumes on the underlying principles of occupational and environmental medicine (OEM), central issues, and practice insights. Together, they span the entire field of occupational and environmental medicine, including its scientific foundation in epidemiology and toxicology, the critical, often-overlooked discipline of risk science, management of common medical problems, and practical issues such as management and workers' compensation.The Praeger Handbook of Occupational and Environmental Medicine will be welcomed by students and OEM practitioners, including crossover physicians working toward board certification. Focused on the daily realities of OEM and addressing a number of controversial issues, this work makes it clear why this field is so important to public health.
