Heh. the textbook Emergency War surgery is not only still in print (my copy was from the 1960's) but is on line
they have other textbooks for pdf download at their webpage, so if you in the medical field check them out.
they also have a link to buy them hardcopy, which would come in handy if all our iPads and tablets got zapped by a solar storm or an EMP...
These would be good for missionaries, rural folks, for survivalists, or just those of us who practice medicine, especially in rural areas, and have a tight budget.
and for those going on mission trips, or traveling to exotic areas, you might want to check out the Field support site. It has sections on exotic countries, with cultural orientation and tips, and many sites include phrase books for medicine or other emergencies.
For example, this is the Tagalog site (they also have a cebuano site). I appreciate the medical phrases (most tourism oriented language instructions don't tell you how to ask of someone has LBM or ever had an STD).
another language site, although not with much for Tagalog, is this site, which has some FSI mp3 courses. No tagalog there, but if you want to speak Shona or Hausa, you might want to check it out.
