Even if you stopped by the AIHA’s InfoCentral booth last week at the Toronto Convention Centre, chances are good that with all the other activities going on and all the other literature to browse in the Expo hall, some of the association’s newest publications might have escaped your notice. But it’s not too late. The following are three of the titles AIHA debuted at AIHce 2009:
