摘要

In the context of human history, the global conquest of infectious diseases has only jyst begun. Much of the world's population remains at risk of infectious diseases and millions die each year. Those health professionals who are on the front line of the fight against infectious diseases need reliable ready reference textbooks. This first edition of Infectious Diseases is a new package designed to help meet this challenge, as it merges an atlas with a case based textbook. This first edition of Infectious Diseases contains a Foreword by University of Texas Professor David H Walker, a table of Brief Contents, a table of Detailed Contents, a Preface, about The Author, Acknowledgments, 12 chapters, and a comprehensive Index. There is no list of abbreviations, bibliography or glossary. Infectious Diseases is presented as a 28.5 x 21.5 x 3.1 cm hardcover publication, which would normally sit on the shelf. The tough, laminated full colour cover is durable. The Atlas is in full colour virtually throughout, which is sure to captivate the interested reader.
