Where There Is No Doctor
a village health care handbook
by David Werner, Carol Thuman, Jane Maxwell
Why it's on the shelf
The classic village health-care handbook: plain language, hundreds of drawings, and a focus on what one person can do with few supplies. Hesperian posts it free, chapter by chapter, but a printed copy is the one that works in a blackout.
