Vehicle crashes remain the number one cause of death for persons aged 5-32 and the biggest cause of serious injuries. This is not only a staggering economic problem but a public health problem of serious dimensions. The medical cost of motor vehicle crash injuries is conservatively estimated to be billion annually. Nearly thirty percent of these costs, over $4 billion dollars, are paid by medicare and medicaid. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
