Manson's Tropical Diseases

A Manual of the Diseases of Warm Climates, edited by SIR PHILIP H. MANSON-BAHR. C.M.G., D.S.O., M.A., M.D., D.T.M., and H. Cantab., F.R.C.P. Lond., 14th edition, 1144 pp with 15 color plates, 11 half-tone plates, 414 figures in text, 8 maps and 29 charts. The Williams & Wilkins Company, Baltimore, Maryland, 1954. Price, $12.50

This is the 14th edition of the first important text on Tropical Diseases which for almost six decades has been a classic in this field. When Sir Patrick Manson discontinued his editorial activities, Sir Philip Manson-Bahr assumed responsibility of subsequent revisions. Innumerable students and workers in the tropics cannot but express a debt of gratitude to "the father of Tropical Medicine" for having originated the text and to Sir Philip for having supervised the last eight editions.

A wealth of pertinent information and detailed knowledge is contained in this volume and the reader is stimulated by the fact that the author often finds opportunity to express his own opinions following a review of the literature; e.g., on certain phases of filariasis in which subject he has been especially active.

The volume is in reality two books in one, the text and the appendix.
