This book is edited by five experts in the field of travel medicine. They have solicited chapters in various specialties from experts around the world, including the UK. This book is very well presented with colour graphs, maps and photographs. The publishers have improved their service to the reader by providing the textbook on line. I found this of immense value, if not for anything else, for the fact that by clicking on the references I was able to access the abstracts. A comprehensive book such as this one is not easily put together. It required the expertise of the five eminent co-editors headed by Jay Keystone, and the collaboration of 83 authors of international standing. Of all the books I have reviewed for Travel Wise, this is the one I will have no hesitation in recommending to all BTHA members. Reader satisfaction is guaranteed. Travel Wise, Autumn 2008
