Where there is
no Doctor -
A useful guide for village Health Care Workers
Werner, David
A must for medical missionaries... Clear, concise, illustrated, and practical
are but a few words that describe of this book. I especially appreciated
the "attitude" of the book... not only one of healing the sick,
but also one of teaching those in the village how to establish a medical
community of their own. It's a great book to use and then leave for those
with whom you've been working.

Control of Communicable Diseases Manual 17th ed
James E Chin
American Public Health Association, Jan 2000
This is a classic work of tropical medicine. Not only does it make up
essential reading for a student in tropical medicine, but it is a neat
companion in the field. Previously edited by Benenson it proved a little
tricky to track down. Now it is my possesion it rarely sits on the shelf
and should never be a book to gather dust. It is a book that is easy to
read with detail clearly laid out in a logical fashion. This makes the
book welcoming to people to whom English is a second language.
