This encyclopedic textbook covers far more than its title may suggest; for example, it looks at jungle travel, survival at sea, scuba diving, and Arctic medicine. This new edition adds coverage on numerous topics; especially notable are the chapters on potential problems for women and children. The text is clearly and generously amplified with effective and efficient illustrations and tabular summaries of key information. The audience for this book should include primary care physicians, whether in internal medicine or family practice.
