Oxford Handbook of Tropical Medicine (Oxford Handbooks)
Review from previous edition: "The handbook delivers the facts to your fingertips... if I had 425g of luggage allowance to spare I would throw it in my rucksack!"  --S B Welby in Annals of Tropical Medicine and Parasitology"A strong point of the handbook is its range of practical protocols developed by the WHO. These allow a structured approach to patient care and can be adapted to national policies and local conditions, used for easy reference, and disseminated appropriately."  --John Hartley, University College London Hospital"This is an invaluable resource... this book will answer all of your questions about tropical medicine in a concise manner and suggest a plain and easy to follow treatment plan."  --Reviewer on Amazon"... is an excellent resource for those working in low-resource circumstances. ... it attempts to provide common sense, rational and relevant information and advice (...)for those working within the tropics and in resource-poor settings, it is unique, practical and excellent resource and can be thoroughly recommended."  --Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy 2005"The pocket sized format, with robust plasticized cover ensuring its portability and durability, combined with concise yet highly informative coverage of a vast number of topics will ensure the continued success of the second edition of this popular handbook... I have no reservations in recommending the second edition of the OHTM to both students and practitioners of tropical medicine. Whether working in the tropics or in resource-rich settings, this handbook will certainly prove its worth."  --Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene 2005"This is a well-written, reasonably comprehensive handbook of clinical tropical medicine that will be very useful for the practitioner in an isolated setting."  --Doody's Journal May 2005"...a practical, well-written, pocket-sized handbook for practitioners or medical students of tropical medicien working in an area of limited resources...based on current WHO guidelines...[it] will be useful for practitioners in isolated settings."  --Winnie Ooi, MD, Harvard Med School"...this is a gem of a handbook."  --Mad Mag 2007
