Brady - Pearson
Brady was founded as the Robert J. Brady Publishing Company in Bowie, Maryland more than 30 years ago. Every aspect of publishing was done in one house (editorial, art, production, sales, warehousing, shipping), and they concentrated on Fire and EMS materials as well as a limited computer line. Prentice Hall purchased Brady and in the early 1970s and moved the company to New Jersey, While the Brady family sold its computer line to another company (these books still carry the Brady imprint and are still in production).
In the meantime, Morton Publishing started publishing EMS books and in particular, three major texts—Hafen & Karren's Prehospital Emergency Care, Hafen & Karren's First Responder, and Greenwald's Paramedic Manual. These texts were the first in EMS to use 4-color printing, and were eventually sold to Brady/Pearson. Other franchise titles carried by Brady from very early on are Emergency Care (now in its 11th edition) and Prehospital Emergency Pharmacology (now in its 8th edition). Brady has also published several Paramedic texts with Bledsoe, Porter & Cherry since the mid-1980s. Currently, Brady publishes more than 200 titles and is the #1 publisher in EMS today.
