Travel Medicine - Tales Behind the Science by Annelies Wilder-smith, Eli Schwartz and Marc Shaw

This Book is unique and different to the standard textbooks on travel medicine. It provides rare insights into many of the behind-the-scenes in travel medicine, personal stories of failures and successes of travel medicine practitioners, and the 'real life' tales that unravel the science behind travel medicine. Best lessons are always learned from personal stories.

not all travel is for fun. Some travel is for a cause, be it religious or humanitarian, or be it to escape certain political systems. Stories on the tragedies of so-called 'undocumented refugees' are included to this end, as are ones that are written by colleagues who are involved in humanitarian care. Pilgrimages attract large number of 'travelers' and yet we know so little about them. Chapters on the Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist and Christian pilgrimages aim to correct this.

Travelers travel, diseases travel. This book provides an overview how diseases have spread worldwide - via globalization, migration and military campaigns. It also explains what the travel medicine practitioner needs to know about the recently revised International Health Regulations.
