Review:

'Its admirable blend of up-to-date factual information, scholarly and authoritative comment and philosophical wisdom is applied to the whole range of human malariology...it has found a place in the research laboratory, the hospital and the consulting room as well as in the field worker's knapsack and the administrator's desk.' --Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene (of the second edition)
