A must have book by Robert S. Marton  5 Stars
January 12, 2008
This atlas is a book that every healthcare provider dealing with tropical disease/infectious disease should have in their library. It is very comprehensive in detail but is most useful in conjunction with a book detailing the specifics of these disease.
Highly recommended

A neccessary companion to the study of tropical medicine by Oystein Anders Strand 5 Stars
June 30, 2007
This book is an excellent companion to the study of tropical medicine and clinical parasitology for the beginner as well as the experienced reader.The pictures, graphs and maps are very good and this edition has been updated and expanded significantly with new illustations, maps, updates of life cycles of parasites, relevant x-rays, clinical pictures and illustrations of parasites and hosts. A perfect companion to a textbook of tropical medicine. Highly recommended. The resolution of the pictures on the CD-ROM are, however, a bit too low to enjopy fully for my eyes. The book is recommended for the postgraduate courses in tropical medicine and medical parasitology at the University of Oslo.
