Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases: The Neglected Tropical Diseases and Their Impact on Global Health and Development
"Like a great general mustering his forces, Professor Peter Hotez is gathering the forces of the world community to the fight against mankind's most ancient scourges: leprosy, worm infections, blinding trachoma, and other harrowing tropical diseases.... His crystal clear and powerful text displays the mind of a great scientist and humanist, one who knows every technical detail about the diseases which afflict billions of people and kill millions each decade.... This book is an amazing primer. It can be read by the general reader but also by the specialist in Infectious Diseases.... This book is thrilling on all levels." --Sonia Ehrlich Sachs, M.D., M.P.H.
