If you want to know more about Staying Healthy Abroad, get a copy of our own health manual:
Travellers' Health - the fourth edition of the best-selling, specialist guide to healthy travel, published by Oxford University Press.
Travellers Health was awarded a prize in the British Medical Association Medical Book Competition, November 2003.
"This book covers all the health problems likely to be encountered by travellers. It brings together 'state-of-the-art' background information and advice from more than 80 leading experts. This comprehensive survey of travel health is now regarded as the standard work on the subject. It makes excellent use of figures and tables in order to produce an easy-to-use text."
 Powerful health protection for every traveller – for just £14.99 Reviews:
Michael Palin:
"…As indispensable to travel as a toothbrush."
Leading article, The Lancet:
"A top-of-the-range guide for those who wish to make informed decisions about their health whilst abroad."
Sunday Times:
BOOK OF THE WEEK: "Abroad is the most dangerous place in the world. Eat the wrong food, sleep in the wrong bed (or in the right bed with the wrong person), walk in the wrong jungle, bathe in the wrong sea or doze on the wrong beach and you're as near as dead. Still, there are people who insist on crossing the water, and for them there is no better book than this."
Roger Collis, International Herald Tribune:
"The book is both erudite and lucid, compellingly readable."
Health & Fitness:
"Read this book for practical reasons before travelling abroad, or for pleasure – learn how to remove an African maggot from your skin, or how to avoid diarrhoea. Excellent.!"
Vogue:
"Essential holiday reading – A thorough anthology of expert medical opinion and practical advice."
The South American Handbook:
"Travellers' Health is the most comprehensive run-down of the subject. We strongly recommend it to all travellers, but especially to the intrepid who go to out-of-the-way places."
MDU Review:
"The author and contributors have impeccable qualifications and experience for writing this detailed but readable book on illness abroad. As a preventive measure against tropical disease Richard Dawood's book ranks alongside immunizations."
Vancouver Sun:
"This book fills a gaping hole in the literature on helping travellers cope with a daunting range of diseases, viruses, parasites and venomous creatures waiting to strike anyone adventuring far afield. Clearly written, this book provides straight forward suggestions for preventing, diagnosing and treating various ailments."
Marxism Today:
"If you have the itch to travel, Travellers' Health should cure you; gruesome detail and sound advice custom made for that long flight or slow train. A wonderful, juicy book that will help people cope with different environments, and warn the truly intrepid about local pathologies."
Woman:
"Everything you need to know to keep fit abroad is in Travellers' Health. It covers all aspects. Easy to understand, no traveller should be without this book."
Hospital Doctor:
"Admirably comprehensive and delightfully written."
The Rough Guides:
"This well-respected book has long been regarded as the last word in travel health."
Dr Thomas Stuttaford, The Times:
"Dr Richard Dawood…the doyen of travellers’ health doctors." |
