An Annotated Bibliography On Diving And Submarine Medicine PDF Download

This volume is the fifth annotated bibliography on underwater medicine to be compiled by these authors. The first, entitled AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY ON DIVING AND SUBMARINE MEDICINE, was published by Gordon and Breach Science Publishers in 1971, and covered material published during the mid and late sixties. The second, entitled UNDERWATER MEDICINE AND RELATED SCIENCES: A GUIDE TO THE LITERATURE, and the third, with the same title, Volume Two, were published by Plenum Publishing Co. in 1973 and 1975 respectively. Volume Four bearing the same title, Volume Three, was published by the Undersea Medical Society. These volumes brought the coverage up through 1975. The present volume consists chiefly of material published during 1976 and 1977. It is the purpose of these volumes to present recent work in the area of underwater research in the form of informative abstracts, along with a permuted subject index and an author index. The microthesaurus upon which the index is based is also presented, with a short note explaining its use and that of the index. These two features should make it possible for the user to search out any specific areas of hyperbaric research, to learn what is being done, where, and by whom, and also to spot gaps that should be filled. The articles, reports, and papers represented by the abstracts are in most cases readily available. With the rapidly growing need for information on the physical and physiological aspects of the underwater environment, this series should prove increasingly useful, both to the research scientist and to the underwater engineer.
