A burn is damage to your body’s tissues caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, sunlight or radiation. Scalds from hot liquids and steam, building fires and flammable liquids and gases are the most common causes of burns.
Eyes, particularly the cornea (the clear window of tissue on the front of the eyeball), can be easily damaged by exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun and from other sources of ultraviolet light, such as a welder’s arc, a photographer’s flood lamps, a sun lamp, or even a halogen desk lamp.
There are three levels of burns:
* First-degree burns affect only the outer layer of the skin. They cause pain, redness, and swelling.
* Second-degree (partial thickness) burns affect both the outer and underlying layer of skin. They cause pain, redness, swelling, and blistering.
* Third-degree (full thickness) burns extend into deeper tissues. They cause white or blackened, charred skin that may be numb.
Causes of Burns
Burns can cause swelling, blistering, scarring and, in serious cases, shock and even death. They also can lead to infections because they damage your skin’s protective barrier. Antibiotic creams can prevent or treat infections. After a third-degree burn, you need skin or synthetic grafts to cover exposed tissue and encourage new skin to grow. First- and second-degree burns usually heal without grafts.
Categories
The categories of burns and their treatment very much depend on the depth, area and location of the burn. Burn depth is generally categorized as first, second or third degree. A first degree burn is superficial and has similar characteristics to a typical sun burn. The skin is red in color and sensation is intact. In fact, it is usually somewhat painful. Second degree burns look similar to the first degree burns; however, the damage is now severe enough to cause blistering of the skin and the pain is usually somewhat more intense. In third degree burns the damage has progressed to the point of skin death. The skin is white and without sensation.
Burns are usually caused by heat (thermal burns), such as fire, steam, tar, or hot liquids. Burns caused by chemicals are similar to thermal burns, whereas burns caused by radiation (see Radiation Injury), sunlight (see Sunlight and Skin Damage: Introduction), and electricity (see Electrical and Lightning Injuries: Electrical Injuries) tend to differ significantly.
How are burns treated?
The treatment depends on what kind of burn you have. If a first- or second-degree burn covers an area larger than 2 to 3 inches in diameter, or is on your face, hands, feet or genitals, you should see a doctor right away. Third-degree burns require emergency medical attention.
Caution
* Don’t use ice. Putting ice directly on a burn can cause frostbite, further damaging your skin.
* Don’t apply butter or ointments to the burn. This could prevent proper healing.
* Don’t break blisters. Broken blisters are vulnerable to infection.

Burn $8.6 It’s true what they say: Money changes everything. And in Linda Howard’s red-hot novel Burn, the changes come fast, furious, and filled with the kind of sexy suspense, heart-stopping romance, beautiful people, and risky business guaranteed to give you the most bang for your buck. Money certainly changes Jenner Redwine’s life when she wins a lottery jackpot. But it also costs her plenty: Her father rips her off and disappears, her fortune-hunting boyfriend soon becomes her ex, and friends-turned-freeloaders give her the cold shoulder when she stops paying for everything. Flush with new money, Jenner can’t imagine ever finding a place in the world of the wealthy. Seven years later, though, she’s rubbing elbows with the rich, despite the fact she still feels like a party crasher. Luckily she finds an ally-and a guide to the rarefied realm of privilege-in shy, kind-hearted heiress Sydney Hazlett, who quickly becomes Jenner’s confidante and surrogate sister. When Sydney invites Jenner on a charity cruise aboard a luxury liner, Jenner reluctantly agrees. But while she’s expecting-and dreading-two weeks of masquerade balls, art auctions, and preening glitterati, what she gets is more like a Hitchcock movie than a Love Boat episode. Taken hostage by a menacing stranger, Jenner must cooperate in a mysterious cloak-and-dagger scheme-or else. With nowhere to run, and with Sydney’s life as well as her own at risk, Jenner is drawn into a game of dizzying intrigue and harrowing danger. But as her panic gives way to exhilaration, and fear of her captor turns to fascination, Jenner rediscovers feelings she hasn’t had in years-and realizes she’s found a life worth living. "If she survives." |

The Burn Journals $3.95 BRENT RUNYON WAS 14 years old when he set himself on fire. This is a true story. In "The Burn Journals," Runyon describes that devastating suicide attempt and his recovery over the following year. He takes us into the Burn Unit in a children’s hospital and through painful burn care and skin-grafting procedures. Then to a rehabilitation hospital, for intensive physical, occupational, and psychological therapy. And then finally back home, to the frightening prospect of entering high school. But more importantly, Runyon takes us into his own mind. He shares his thoughts and hopes and fears with such unflinching honesty that we understand–with a terrible clarity–what it means to want to kill yourself and how it feels to struggle back toward normality. Intense, exposed, insightful, "The Burn Journals" is a deeply personal story with universal reach. It is impossible to look away. Impossible to remain unmoved. This truly riveting memoir is a spectacular debut for a talented new writer. |

Booze and Burn $13.87 In this darkly comedic follow-up to Charlie Williams’s breakthrough novel Deadfolk, Hoppers head doorman Royston Blake is once again up to his eyeballs in trouble of the worst kind. Since his face-off with the Munton brothers, Blake has been enjoying life as a ?pillar? of the Mangel community. Sure, it’s a bleak and rather dodgy town, but it’s his town all the same. At least, until enigmatic outsider Nick Nopoly waltzes in and starts collecting friends faster than can possibly be legal. Blake doesn?t think much of him until he notices a change in the behavior of Hoppers? younger clientele: less beery violence, more nonsensical blathering. But when Doug the shopkeeper comes to Blake for help ?sorting out? the newcomer (who just happens to be dating Doug’s teenage daughter), the bruiser figures helping out Doug will be good for business?never mind the 400 cigarettes and 400 cans of lager the shopkeeper has offered as payment. Of course, Mangel is Mangel, and it wouldn?t be a normal day if Blake didn?t soon find himself in an unholy mess. Raunchy, violent, and hysterical, Booze and Burn is a welcome and addictive trip into the dark underbelly of small-town England. |

Freezer Burn $7.99 From the author of Blood Poison comes a new forensics case in the C.S.U. Investigations. The Crime Scene Unit knows that even the most cold-blooded killers leave clues. A bag full of body parts. A man thrown from a car. A shriveled corpse. A gangster, tortured and killed. Besides the fact that the C.S.U. found them on the same day, it seems the cases have nothing in common. But, when interwoven, they point to a plot more elaborate than anything C.S.U. newbie Madison Cross has seen. To investigate, she’ll have to descend into Philly’s underworld of gang brutality, then rise to the highest echelon of organized crime. But both the gang and the killer hope to see her eliminated, once and for all. |

Powder Burn $4.99 A ruthless Colombian drug lord has launched a deadly campaign targeting DEA agents and U.S. diplomats. With the body count growing and the American government powerless, Mack Bolan is called in as a last resort to infiltrate the criminal syndicate and destroy the chain of command before more innocent blood is shed. As the number of attacks grows, Bolan knows he must shut down the operation quickly. But the cartel’s ruthless expansion plan is well under way, and surrendering is not an option. Backed up by a group of right-wing terrorists, the cartel’s leader has declared war on any organization—or man—that stands in his way. There’s just one flaw in the plan…no one expected the Executioner. |

Slash And Burn $13.63 Dr Siri’s bagged himself a holiday: an all-expenses-paid trip to the northern mountains of Laos. What’s more, through a bit of skilful bartering (well, blackmail) he has wangled it so that his nearest and dearest may accompany him. They are to assist a US-funded search for a lost CIA pilot – Boyd Bowry – missing since his aircraft was downed in 1968. But Siri’s not taking the search too seriously, as he strongly suspects that when the helicopter exploded, the pilot followed suit. However, just hours into the trip, it becomes apparent that ulterior motives are at work within the group. And Siri’s suspicions are confirmed when those associated with the airman start dropping like the insects that frequent his country. |

Angel Burn $16.94 Willow knows she’s different from other girls, and not just because she loves tinkering with cars. Willow has a gift. She can look into the future and know people’s dreams and hopes, their sorrows and regrets, just by touching them. She has no idea where this power comes from. But the assassin, Alex, does. Gorgeous, mysterious Alex knows more about Willow than Willow herself. He knows that her powers link to dark and dangerous forces, and that he’s one of the few humans left who can fight them. When Alex finds himself falling in love with his sworn enemy, he discovers that nothing is as it seems, least of all good and evil. In this first book in an action-packed, romantic trilogy, L. A. Weatherly sends readers on a thrill-ride of a road trip – and depicts the human race on the brink of a future as catastrophic as it is desperately beautiful. |

Spark and Burn $8.99 What is the true measure of a champion? In the nineteenth century a boy named William was born. A sweet, gentle boy — no one could have guessed the suffering he’d cause, the pain he’d inflict. When, as a young man, he meets a woman called Drusilla — a strange woman, a woman unlike anyone William has ever known — he is fundamentally changed. She has turned him. There will be no more William. He is Spike now. As Spike, he travels Europe with a band of vagabond vampires. Dru, Darla, and Angelus instruct him on his new nature, and from them he learns about that greatest of vampiric enemies, the girl who is chosen to stand up against them, trained to kill them, endowed with the strength it takes to defeat them: the Slayer. Then and there, Spike decides he’ll hunt down those slayers. He’ll see how many he can find. Who would have thought then that he’d fight on the Slayer’s side? Who would have guessed that Spike, once William, would go out and seek his soul for a slayer? Who would have dared dream he’d fall in love with one? |

Louisiana Burn $2.99 Enigmatic Sam Larkin, a former environmental law-enforcement officer, ex-con, ex-teacher and artist is no stranger to violence. But now, after being called—under false pretenses—by Karen Chaney, a federal officer and Larkin’s sometimes lover, to the Mississippi Gulf Coast, he finds himself torn from the serenity of his lowcountry home, which he has created to put the past behind him and thrust into a mission of retribution. In this explosive novel, Chaney and her Special Agent in Charge, Neil Dougherty are assigned to do a background investigation of former Louisiana Federal Judge and now United States Senator, Thornton Hunnycut. The senator, a result of his power in the senate, his ability to deliver the South and the machinations of his powerful lobbyist live-in, Marlene Cole, is in the running for the second spot on the Democratic ticket in the coming Presidential election. Chaney is more than familiar with Hunnycut, who unjustly sentenced Sam Larkin to prison in Angola for fifteen years. That a federal judge sent Larkin to a state prison was unorthodox enough, but his being released after four years for no apparent reason, the whole trial being expunged and Larkin being given a large sum of money with a warning never to come back into the state of Louisiana was a signal of the corruption Senator Hunnycut is involved in. Though extremely conflicted about resurrecting Larkin’s past Chaney is cajoled by her SAC, Neil Dougherty, to bring Sam back to Louisiana under false pretenses. His return to the Pelican State begins a series of events and revelations so bizarre they are difficult to fathom. Like a phoenix rising rises from the ashes, Larkin becomes an integral force in the probe, which exposes not only the senator, but the chief administrator of the state, the prosecuting attorney at his trial and his defense counsel. The motive for their actions are a mystery to Sam and Chaney until the investigation leads them through a maze of deception and depravity spreading from Louisiana to Washington, DC. Political chicanery, murder for hire, a sociopathic killer, suicide, and bribery create a fabric of ruthless brutality and viciousness that is probably more truth than fiction. The cast of vivid supporting characters enhanced by the author’s lyrical descriptions of the natural beauty of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, New Orleans and the Cajun country of Louisiana provide a startling contrast for the telling of this tragic tale of greed, power, human frailty and treachery that can only end in an explosive resolution. |

Burn for Me $15.04 "Once burned is all it takes…" For the last twelve years, Raul Montenga has sizzled with erotic dreams of the girl he left behind. When he finally comes back home, determined to find her, it’s not to Penelope’s warm welcome but to a cold shoulder and her icy rejection. So he’s more than a little surprised to answer his door one day to find her tomboy daughter standing nervously on his porch…claiming to be his child. Dr. Penelope Gibson’s worst nightmare isn’t that her daughter might want to know who her father was. It’s facing the man she’d foolishly spent her youth loving and keeping him at arm’s length. Now he’s back and the feelings she’d thought frozen solid are melting in his wake. Along with her inhibitions, her clothes and her better judgment. But when he’s determined to win back her love–body and soul–can she trust him enough to try? Or will everything she’s built without him go up in smoke? "Warning: This book features a wildly hot Latino firefighter dead-set on a mission to seduce. Contains bad words, fiery tempers and scorching sex. Oven mitts required." |

Charlie Brooker’s Screen Burn $13.11 ‘These days, watching television is like sitting in the back of Travis Bickle’s taxicab, staring through the window at a world of relentless, churning shod . . .’ Cruel, acerbic, impassioned, gleeful, frequently outrageous and always hilarious, Charlie Brooker’s Screen Burn collects the best of the much-loved Guardian Guide columns into one easy-to-read-on-the-toilet package. Sit back and roar as Brooker rips mercilessly into Simon Cowell, ‘Big Brother’, Trinny and Susannah, ‘Casualty’, Davina McCall, Michael Parkinson . . . and almost everything elso on television. This book will make practically anyone laugh out loud. At the turn of the millennium, Charlie Brooker created the notorious website TV Go Home. More recently, he co-wrote Channel Four’s Nathan Barley with Chris Morris. Prior to become the Guardian Guide’s TV critic, Brooker worked as a cartoonist, a journalist, and a TV and radio presenter. ‘Charlie Brooker doesn’t so much go for the jugular as decapitate his targets altogether.’ Jim Shelley, Daily Mirror ‘He watches these things so we don’t have to. Bless him for that.’ Graham ‘Father Ted’ Linehan ‘This belongs on everyone’s bookshelf. With a big spotlight pointing at it.’ Julie Burchill ‘The funniest newspaper columnist in the world.’ Racing Post |

Burn Down the Ground $12.99 In this powerful, affecting, and unflinching memoir, a daughter looks back on her unconventional childhood with deaf parents in rural Texas while trying to reconcile it to her present life—one in which her father is serving a twenty-year sentence in a maximum-security prison.   As a child, Kambri Crews wished that she’d been born deaf so that she, too, could fully belong to the tight-knit Deaf community that embraced her parents. Her beautiful mother was a saint who would swiftly correct anyone’s notion that deaf equaled dumb. Her handsome father, on the other hand, was more likely to be found hanging out with the sinners. Strong, gregarious, and hardworking, he managed to turn a wild plot of land into a family homestead complete with running water and electricity. To Kambri, he was Daniel Boone, Frank Lloyd Wright, Ben Franklin, and Elvis Presley all rolled into one.   But if Kambri’s dad was Superman, then the hearing world was his kryptonite. The isolation that accompanied his deafness unlocked a fierce temper—a rage that a teenage Kambri witnessed when he attacked her mother, and that culminated fourteen years later in his conviction for another violent crime.    With a smart mix of brutal honesty and blunt humor, Kambri Crews explores her complicated bond with her father—which begins with adoration, moves to fear, and finally arrives at understanding—as she tries to forge a new connection between them while he lives behind bars. Burn Down the Ground is a brilliant portrait of living in two worlds—one hearing, the other deaf; one under the laid-back Texas sun, the other within the energetic pulse of New York City; one mired in violence, the other rife with possibility—and heralds the arrival of a captivating new voice. From the Hardcover edition. |

Burn This $3.95 Commissioned by the Circle Repertory Company, "Burn This" first appeared at the Mark Taper Forum in Los angeles in 1987 to near-universal praise. Set in the bohemian art world of downtown New York, this vivid and challenging drama explores the spiritual and emotional isolation of Anna and Pale, two outcasts who meet in the wake of the accidental death by drowning of a mutual friend. Their determined struggle toward emotional honesty and liberation–by no means guaranteed at the play’s ambiguous end–exemplifies the strength, humor, and complexity of all of Lanford Wilson’s work and confirms his standing as one of America’s greatest living playwrights.

But the calm of the little village is about to be shattered by a wealthy stranger who bursts into flame by the side of the road–and then disappears! The townspeople begin muttering about witchcraft and the devil’s hand, casting suspicious glances at a local Frenchman. But Charlotte, who has a keen interest in human nature, and her neighbor Richard Longfellow, gentleman farmer and scientist, have more earthly speculations about the merchant’s disappearance. Was it murder, or an elaborate scheme? And, with two mysterious deaths to follow and a tavern full of superstitious rabble, will Charlotte and Longfellow uncover the answers before it’s too late?
