Tropical Medicine: A Clinical Text, 8th Edition, Revised and Expanded (International Humanitarian Affairs)
"Diplomats who must deal with the after-effects of man-made and natural disasters are well aware that epidemic diseases flourish as societies collapse, and that more people usually die in such circumstances from preventable illnesses than from armed conflicts. This is an essential book for those who seek to restore peace and stability in war-torn and disaster areas. It considers the critical interrelationships of medicine and statesmanship, and it is one of the reasons why I have asked the author to serve as my Chief Adviser on Humanitarian and Public Health issues."-H.E. Nass ir Al Nasser, President of the United Nations General Assembly, Sixty-sixth session"This revised and expanded edition of Tropical Medicine: A Clinical Text reflects the personal experience of the author over many years of direct and intimate contact with countries in the Third World ranging from those in Africa to those in South America. It has been the standard textbook used by many generations of both medical students and postgraduate physicians studying tropical medicine at The Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland and in other academic centers around the world. It is a practical and very readable textbook."-Herbert Gilles, M.D. , C.M.G. Professor Emeritus, The Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine; Past President, The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene
