Increasing globalisation means the appearance of new diseases, the persistence of existing ones and the spread of multi-drug resistant organisms are issues of international concern. Introducing both basic principles and more advanced concepts of epidemiology, this textbook examines communicable diseases at the community level, combining theory and practice into a systematic and globally comprehensive overview. Diseases in developed and developing countries are addressed, grouped by means of transmission and illustrated with focus boxes, bullet lists and figures. Fully updated throughout, this fourth edition of Communicable Disease Epidemiology and Control, retitled Communicable Diseases to reflect the breadth of its coverage, includes new chapters on integrated disease management and the increased risks of disease among pregnant women. An essential resource for students and lecturers in public health and medical sciences, this book will also assist doctors and health workers in their management of this fast-changing area.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49607927628049,"sku":"GOR006096112","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49618167398673,"sku":"CIN1845939387G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1845939387.jpg?v=1750963653"},{"product_id":"solomoni-book-roger-webber-9781848765474","title":"Solomoni","description":"Solomon Islands is a sovereign state in Oceania, east of Papua New Guinea, consisting of nearly one thousand islands. During Roger's 10 year stay as a doctor there, the islands progressed through being a British Protectorate, to self-government and finally gained independence.This book is a story of these years, offering descriptions and tales on most of the islands, remote areas that few people ever get to see. It records a way of life that has all but disappeared, and segues with Roger's personal story; a tragic air crash that left him bringing up two young children on the islands.Many facets of these islands impinge on the present day world, from their contribution in sport, music and the origin of one of the most evocative of places, Bali Hai. The main island, Guadalcanal, was a household name during World War II as it became the site for the Battle of Guadalcanal, a 6-month conflict between Allied forces and Japanese troops. Solomoni provides a rare and interesting insight into an unseen world. A variety of vivid photographs illustrate important events and the beauty of the islands.  It will appeal to travellers, readers with an interest in anthropology and those with a medical interest.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49618337071377,"sku":"GOR007428762","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1848765479.jpg?v=1751446963"},{"product_id":"communicable-diseases-book-roger-webber-9781786395245","title":"Communicable Diseases","description":"Completely updated and revised, and now published in its sixth edition, this best-selling text has provided an essential overview of the subject for almost 25 years.

It is the objective of many travellers to get from one end to the other, but in doing so there are different ways and many hazards in the way. The northern route is by the trans-Siberian railway, with a link to China, to then return via a more southern route through India and Iran. In ancient times there had been the Silk Road, with its many alternative sections. These routes formed the basis of many of my travels, but not as a continuous journey as there were countries to explore on the way.    In ASIA, Webber covers the whole continent and comprehensively includes all countries in Asia. The book is beautifully illustrated with both black and white and colour photos as well as route maps of all the journeys. It is set over sixty years and includes historical and geographical descriptions of large parts of the region.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49752948080913,"sku":"NGR9781805141334","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1805141333.jpg?v=1751445710"},{"product_id":"return-to-zanzibar-book-roger-webber-9781783061211","title":"Return to Zanzibar","description":"Starting from his early days spent in this exotic island when it was an independent Sultanate, Roger Webber goes on to describe his travels throughout Africa, covering a period of 66 years and nearly every country in that vast continent. It includes the great journey from Cairo to Cape, travelling up the Nile, and later on passage down the other great river of Africa, the Congo.  In Return to Zanzibar, Roger begins with his memories of an island explored in detail, recounting every aspect of its geography and history and examining how this small country had so much influence over such a large part of the continent.   Following Zanzibar's amalgamation with Tanganyika to form Tanzania, in which many of the ways of the original country disappeared, Roger returned as a doctor to be faced with epidemics that were ravaging East Africa at that time. From this base he explored surrounding countries and much of the rest of the continent.  Return to Zanzibar is a personal story of Africa in all its many facets.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50726510035217,"sku":"GOR009993283","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1783061219.jpg?v=1750765651"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-roger-webber.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
