<br/><br/> "Essentials of Athletic Injury Management was created from the foundations established by another well-recognized textbook, Principles of Athletic Training, currently in its sixteenth edition. Whereas Principles of Athletic Training serves as a major text for professional athletic trainers and those individuals interested in sports medicine, Essentials of Athletic Injury Management is written at a level more appropriate for the coach, fitness professional, and physical educator. It provides guidance, suggestions, and recommendations for handling athletic health care situations when an athletic trainer or physician is not available"--
