About the Book

Revised and updated, this second edition features a team of international experts who discuss all aspects of travel medicine - from immunizations and pre-travel advice for adults and children to the latest information on cruise travel, bird flu and SARS to the essentials of post-travel screening. It reflects current 'best practices' and remains both the leading comprehensive text on the principles and practice of travel medicine and a rich resource of practical guidance that you can use daily. And, as an "Expert Consult" title, this thoroughly updated 2nd edition comes with access to the complete contents online, fully searchable - enabling you to consult it rapidly from any computer with an Internet connection.

Review :
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

The book is organized in a logical way: it moves from basic epidemiology to clinic management issues, and onwards through pre-travel consultation to sections on the major threats travelers might face; illustrating how the discipline of travel medicine has matured, there is a full section devoted to the psychological aspects of travel medicine. A number of chapters explain concepts in a very easy to read and basic manner, which many less qualified workers in the travel clinic could find helpful.

Travel Medicine, November 2008

As expected, the second edition of Travel medicine provides such a resource, being both comprehensive and topical in its coverage of the subject. Several parts of the book, have been revised to reflect new developments, and many of the tables and prevalence maps have been improved. One great advantage of this second edition of Travel medicine is its online availability, making it much more easily accessible. The book continues to live up to expectations as a reputable travel medicine reference resource and one that should at the disposal of every travel health practitioner.

Media Watch, Winter 2008

The second edition of this valuable textbook highlights a dynamic specialty that integrates many disciplines. This book is a comprehensive reference on travel medicine. It is rich in information, pleasant to read, and practical. It has been updated to recommend current best practices in travel medicine. The editors have assembled an excellent textbook, and I recommend it enthusiastically to
health professionals interested in this growing specialty.
