Item Description: Binding: Hardcover
This new book is an exciting compilation of stories and light hearted personal accounts of deep commercial "mixed-gas" diving in the 1960's and beyond. It is about the divers who experienced and experimented with helium gas and other emerging diving technologies of that era.
Written by a commercial diver that was there, working in deep water construction, offshore oil, and underwater salvage. For the retired divers this book will bring back memories, and for the younger divers, it will hold their interest. A commercial diver's must read!
Book Review:
"Very interesting, very descriptive...stories of working divers - their memories and adventures, a good read"
-Leonard Greenstone, US Navy Salvage Diver, Ret.

Item Description: Binding: Hardcover
Chronic wounds are a major cause of patient suffering and a profound financial burden to society. The focus of this long awaited Second Edition is assessment and management of chronic wounds in a Wound Care Practice. Physicians, podiatrists, nurses, enterostomal therapists, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other health care professionals will find in this book the principles of modern, moist, interactive wound care, and the application of advanced therapeutic technologies.
As the complexity of wound management increases, clinicians come to the field from many diverse specialties. This book represents the combined efforts of 65 authors selected from the basic sciences and clinical practice who bring their insights and unique experiences to these two volumes and enhance its value both as an educational text and as an enduring reference. Because of the wealth of knowledge and growth in wound care technology this new Second Edition of the definitive text Wound Care Practice has expanded into two volumes.
Book Review:
"Sheffield and Fife's Second Edition of Wound Care Practice really is a veritable Who's Who in modern wound management. This new two-volume edition covers every aspect of standard of care in wound management as well as addressing ethics and legal medicine pertinent to this sub-specialty. This text would be appropriate for the wound management novice as well as the seasoned veteran. The editors have organized and developed the material in a very instinctive sequence beginning with the very basics of wound physiology and biochemistry, then on to wound management of numerous different etiologies. The second volume addresses more wound management basics including nutrition and pain management, as well as more specialized areas relating to wound management in the elderly and the very young. The chapters are well written and the text is nicely illustrated. Students of wound management will find the review questions at the end of each chapter very helpful when preparing for certification exams. Any individual or wound management center looking for a single reference that is comprehensive and concise will find the Second Edition of Wound Care Practice by Drs. Sheffield and Fife very readable and authoritative."

Binding: Softcover / Paperback
Line Illustrations: 10
Measurements: 9 7/16 X 7 11/16 inches
The long awaited new edition of the internationally acclaimed The Underwater Photographer from the "guru" teacher on u/w photography covers all that is needed to become a fully fledged u/w photographer and succeed professionally. Still providing a solid grounding in the core basic fundamentals skills and techniques in analogue u/w photography, its main focus is on the hottest emerging topic of digital! With the advent of u/w digital cameras and inexpensive underwater housings there is a fast-growing number of amateur and advanced level u/w photographers fully embracing this medium. It is envisaged by leading figures in the industry to be exponential. As this area of the market is bereft of any material providing comprehensive coverage of this, The Underwater Photographer will dominate immediately!
A superb hands-on manual containing a wealth of underwater tips, hints and advice - all beautifully illustrated with brand new, full color images. Martin Edge, a leading authority on underwater photography, will help you capture stunning effects using his popular 'think and consider' system - offering a heightened awareness and understanding of the subject matter, lighting and environment to take the perfect picture. Practical examples take you step-by-step through the basic techniques from photographing shipwrecks, divers, marine life and abstract images to taking photographs at night and 'dual lighting'. In 1999 the late Jim Church, guru of underwater photography, said: 'As a member of the new generation of underwater photography writers, [Martin has] set a standard that will only be surpassed when [he writes] a third edition.' Here it is, we hope you enjoy it.
Audience:
Underwater photographers from beginner to intermediate-advanced level; Scuba divers, and covers both Digital and Traditional Techniques
Contents:
Basic Refresher
The Underwater Digital Revolution
The Digital TC System (Think and Consider)
Pulling it all Together
Features and Benefits:
* Learn 'how that shot was taken' with practical case studies
* Beautifully illustrated throughout with inspirational full color underwater images
* Covers the highly respected philosophy of the 'Think and Consider' System
Book Reviews:
"The Underwater Photographer is a third edition, but it has been so thoroughly revised to include digital techniques that it could have easily justified a new title...The Underwater Photographer is seriously comprehensive and will clearly serve as a faithful reference manual. But the author's enthusiastic, personal and accessible style make it easy reading. Technical issues are dealt with thoroughly but reassuringly free from jargon, and even if it gets a bit technical, you can always skim through the heavy stuff and skip to Martin's personal recommendations, to instantly improve your shots...In conclusion, this book is very impressive and as up to date as a work of this magnitude could hope to be. In short, if you are an underwater photographer and want to improve your images then I recommend buying this book" - Alex Mustard, www.wetpixel.com
DIVE MAGAZINE PUBLICATION OF THE YEAR! This year we reckon you had more top-quality publications than usual from which to choose, and the three finalists were each the sort of volume you might treasure as a work of reference. In its third edition, The Underwater Photographer has evolved to become almost a standard work of reference. Martin Edge has developed his writing skills over the years, and we recommend this volume for anyone pursuing the now-less-than black art of underwater photography, especially with digital image-gathering in mind.
'Martin gives valuable practical advice... in this compelling, valuable reference.' Stephen Frink, Rodale's Scuba Diving
"The book underwater photographers have been dying to get their hands on...anyone interested in taking up underwater photography would benefit from reading this book." Professional Photographer Magazine
"Martin assumes the reader has a basic knowledge of underwater photography, and so pitches at the intermediate skilled, but still allows the book to be accessible to the novice and makes a point of highlighting the many stumbling blocks and errors to taking decent snaps that beginners encounter...As well as the basics, Martin includes all the technical know-how to keep the experienced underwater photographer interested. And for anyone not yet seduced by the underwater photography bug, this book is enough to get you hooked - and coming back for more." - Media SportDiver, June 2006
"The third edition is a hands-on manual containing underwater tips, hints and advice. It provides information to help readers obtain professional results, and has been rewritten (with new, full-color images throughout) to provide in-depth coverage of the latest digital techniques and equipment." - Dive Training, June 2006
"..let us just say that this is THE best underwater photo technique book on the market... PERIOD!" - DIVER magazine
"What he (Martin Edge) does not explain in this truly outstanding book is how you put it down (to go diving) once you start to read! Truly a top pick for any underwater photographer" - Asian Diver Magazine

This gritty, no-holds-barred book tells the uncensored version of the commercial 'hard hat' divers from San Diego to Alaska's Cook Inlet. Bob Wick's 45 year diving career took him from U.S. Navy SEAL training to abalone diving to oil rig and construction diving. His honest, humorous writing offers the reader a glimpse into his world. A true-life adventure book.
Book Reviews:
"...this book displays the camaraderie of the men who risked their lives for their jobs and dedicated themselves to each other. A worthy tribute to this special fraternity, the men without whom the diving business would not be the same today."
—Sport Diver Magazine
"A, 'Must Read' for those who want to recount similiar memories and for those who think they might want to follow in his undersea foot stepts."

Item Description: Binding: Hardcover
"The riggers were the noisiest, rowdiest bunch of cahoots in the shipyard." So begins the colorful story of Ed Goodrich's experiences diving and rigging before diving regulations and treatment tables were even written. Rigger-divers earned their money the hard way: ship hull cleaning, repair and maintenance of sea chests, replacing props on huge ships, underwater welding and Oxy-Arc cutting, doing pier inspections, and getting out of dangerous situations while diving in zero visibility. The stories along with some old photos and illustrations make this book an exciting read.
Ed Goodrich has an extensive commercial diving background. He was employed as a Foreman Rigger-Diver at the Long Beach Naval Shipyard, a Diving Supervisor and Mixed-Gas Diver for DivCon, and an Instructor for the College of Oceaneering in the Los Angeles Harbor.

Item Description: By: Costantino Balestra, Frans J. Cronje, Peter Germonpre, and Alessandro Marroni
Binding: Hardcover
The focus in this new title is on PFO (Patent Foramen Ovale) as a risk factor in diving and thus the text is concerned primarily with dissolved gas and the subsequent aberrant distribution of those venous bubbles in the presence of a natural and common anatomical variant of cardiac development.
The prevalence of PFO is about 25% in the general population and several respectable investigators have studied this problem and feel that PFO should be considered a definite risk factor for the development of decompression sickness.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Diving Program, which is recognized as one of the leading authorities on scientific diving and undersea technology has released the Fourth Edition of the NOAA Diving Manual. This manual was last published in 1991, with over 25,000 books sold within six years. The newly revised manual is published in full color, with 668 coated pages and is available in both soft cover and hard cover formats. It contains basic through advanced applied diving technologies and is written in a non-technical style so it will be informative to all who are interested in safe diving. This completely revised Fourth Edition is one of the most detailed diving reference books available and is a valuable resource to all who are interested in a complete encyclopedia of diving technology, equipment, techniques, and procedures.
More than 100 authors and reviewers, selected from a diverse spectrum of experts in recreational, commercial, military, scientific, and research diving, combined their expertise to address the complex issues involved in today's diving. This new edition contains twenty-one chapters on all aspects of diving: techniques to improve the methodology of underwater scientific research, new gear, operational techniques, and details to help the diver dive safely. In addition, there are ten appendices, including a glossary, references, and a detailed index. The technologies of rebreathers and mixed gas diving, including nitrox and oxygen are included; diving physics, physiology, decompression, and diving medicine have also been updated to reflect recent developments in the diving industry. The NOAA Nitrox Tables and the Nitrox Diving Procedures allow deeper and/or longer bottom times to increase diver efficiency when using nitrox, without affecting safety or increasing decompression time.

Item Description: Binding: Hardcover
This publication was sponsored by: The Office of Naval Research / Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society
Another fascinating book resulting from one of the most historical and interesting symposiums ever presented at the US Naval Academy "Naval Forces Under the Sea." Sponsored by the Office of Naval Research, the objective of the symposium was to address and highlight the US Navy's significant contributions to diving and submarine rescue through lectures, panel discussions and oral history recordings...this book is the second produced from that symposium. The first book was "Naval Forces Under the Sea: A Look Back, A Look Ahead".
It is the intent of this book to record the portions of the US Navy's undersea story that were left untold, and to give details of the whole story to include how man, through the US Navy, challenged the oceans' depths - how they sometimes lost and how they sometimes won.
The US Navy has incorporated as many key figures as possible and assures readers their mission is to thoroughly convey the 'rest of the story' of US Naval undersea history.
Book Review:
"Naval Forces Under the Sea: The Rest of the Story" has been well worth the effort. It tells the history of naval undersea warfare since the introduction of the first US submarine, USS Holland. But it is more than a history book. By using literal excerpts from the numerous interviews, much of the book consists of a living history, told in story fashion by those who made this history. The Rest of the Story preserves this history to be retold again and again to future generations.

Item Description: This fascinating book details one of the most interesting and historical symposiums ever presented at the U.S. Naval Academy. Sponsored by the Office of Naval Research, the primary objective of this symposium was to address and highlight the U.S. Navy’s significant developments in science and technology related to diving, special warfare, and submarine search and rescue. The symposium attracted national press coverage and highlighted the U.S. Navy’s contributions to diving and submarine rescue through lectures, panel discussions, and oral history recordings.
A secondary objective was to capture and preserve the historical base of knowledge in these disciplines that in many cases reside only in the minds of the contributors. The many attendees, students and faculty listened to historians and naval experts from around the world discuss some of the most daring and dangerous missions of the past century, as well as learned about the future of undersea technologies. In effect it served as the “passing of the torch” from one generation to another and yet it refocused attention on the future of undersea warfare.
The symposium was a once-in-a-lifetime assembly of living icons in U.S. Naval Undersea Warfare from the past 60 years. The hope is that these Proceedings will help preserve the history of this important component of the U.S. Navy’s past and plant a few seeds for future leaders in our Naval Forces Under the Sea.

Item Description: Binding: Hardcover
Hyperbaric Facility Safety is a complex text that covers a broad range of topics, including safe engineering design practices, regulatory guidance, training, staffing, maintenance, and operational procedures, among others. Tragic accidents in the international hyperbaric medicine community have focused attention on the need for more comprehensive information on this topic. This book was written with the objective of creating a comprehensive source to assist established hyperbaric programs, serve as a safety primer for those developing programs, and help cultivate the mindset vital to maintaining a safe environment for staff and patients. The information contained in this book applies to operational and clinical hyperbaric facilities.
Book Reviews:
This book represents an enormous and long overdue effort to create a comprehensive source document that will serve as a safety primer and hyperbaric facility benchmark for established and developing hyperbaric programs in the US and around the world.
—Respiratory Care Magazine
Operating hyperbaric facilities is a hazard in and of itself. The NFPA standard on the subject has help over the past 25 years to reduce the risk from fires immensely. Mr. Workmans new book will be of equal help for users, researchers and manufacturers in reducing the other hazards associated with hyperbaric operations. I thus recommend this book without any hesitation.
