What's First Aid?Injuries happen daily. You should always have common knowledge of injuries when it comes to first aid. First Aid is just giving the patient care when injured or ill, where the victim became injured or ill. " First Aid " is like being the first responder. First Aid is the initial care that's given to the victim before medically trained personnel arrive, or before the victim arrives at a health care center. First you should pay more attention to the most critical problems, like opening of an airway, the presence of bleeding, and function of the heart. Keep the patient as warm and as comfortable as possible. If the victim is conscious, ask for details of their medical history, a known heart condition, or allergic reactions to drugs. If the victim is unconscious, look for a medical identification card, bracelet, or a necklace. Try not to move your victim. But if you do move the victim, move them as little as possible, particularly if there is a possibility of broken bones. If they're vomiting, just move their head so the vomit can exit easily out of their mouth so they don't breath in the vomit. Hopefully by now, the victim is stable enough until professional personnel arrives. There's more information in the Trauma Injury Article. There are also first aid manuals you can find, or first aid kits you can buy that supply a first aid manual. First responder first aid kits are the best auto first aid kits, just in case you need it for a huge emergency. There are cheaper first aid bags or kits you can find for your vehicle. But you can find any size first aid bag or first aid kit that fits your needs. From travel first aid kits and home first aid kits, to sports first aid kits, business first aid kits, and marine first aid kits, there are dozens to choose from. Or, find a bag or box and build your own first aid kit. Try to remember a little something about injuries in case you need that information in the future, whether you're the victim or you're treating someone.

The Sibley Guide to Trees
by David Allen Sibley |  | David Allen Sibley began seriously watching and drawing birds in 1969, at age seven. Since 1980 he has traveled throughout the North American continent studying the natural world, both on his own and as a leader of bird-watching tours. This intensive travel and study culminated in the publication of his comprehensive guide to bird identification, The Sibley Guide to Birds, followed by The Sibley Guide to Bird Life & Behavior, Sibley’s Birding Basics, The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Eastern North America, and The Sibley Field Guide to Birds of Western North America. He lives in Concord, Massachusetts.
Publisher: Knopf (September 15, 2009)
Product Dimensions: 9.6 x 6.1 x 1.1 inches
Paperback: 426 pages | About the Book:
The man who revolutionized the field guide to birds now brings his formidable skills of identification and illustration to the more than six hundred tree species of North America. Similar in size and format to The Sibley Guide to Birds, the layout for this guide is another triumph of logic and concision. Species are arranged taxonomically, not by features such as leaf shape (as in most other guides), which will enable the user to browse the images to find a match for an observed tree in the same way a birder uses the bird guide. And all pages will follow the same format, allowing the user to pinpoint particular information with ease. David Sibley’s meticulous, exquisitely detailed paintings illustrate the cycles of annual and lifetime development, and reveal even the very subtle similarities and distinctions between like elements of different species: bark, leaves, needles, cones, flowers, fruit, twigs, and silhouettes. More than four hundred maps show the complete range, both natural and cultivated, for nearly all the species. Issues of conservation, preservation, and environmental health are addressed in authoritative essays. As innovative, comprehensive, and indispensable as The Sibley Guide to Birds, this new book will set the standard of excellence in field guides to trees. | Reviews:
“A beautiful, masterful, and much-needed work that will henceforth be our guide to the North American trees.”
–Edward O. Wilson
“A wonderful companion volume to David Sibley’s superb bird books, with the same beautifully precise species illustrations and concise, clear descriptions and range maps–altogether an invaluable contribution to our nature literature.”
–Peter Matthiessen, author of Shadow Country
“Unlike birds–the subject of David Sibley’s previous guide–trees of the same species can be different colors at different times of year, different sizes in different places, and even different shapes and sizes in the same place. I thought, therefore, that trees were so replete with variables that a field guide would be impossible. I hadn’t counted on Sibley’s genius with words and paint to turn the impossible into this brilliant, eminently useful, reality.”
–Richard Ellis, author of Tuna: A Love Story
“I am delighted that the very talented David Sibley has ‘branched out’ to include trees. His illustrations are ideal, and the fact that he chooses to give more examples and variations than other guides will make this a very useful handbook.”
–Robert Bateman, author of Birds |
