Travel Healthy: The Traveler's Complete Medical Kit

This is a brisk, no-nonsense handbook by pharmacist Silverman, coauthor of The Pill Book and author of The Consumer's Guide to Poison Protection. He provides tips for travelers on how to minimize risks of exposure to extreme heat or cold, how and when to immunize against disease when traveling abroad and how to lessen the effects of jet lag. Also useful is information on finding a doctor and refilling drug prescriptions abroad, as well as suggestions for travelers with special needs, such as senior citizens. (March)
