Communicable Diseases: A Global Perspective, 5th edition (Repost)

From a review of previous editions:"Communicable Diseases: a Global Perspective represents an excellent introduction to communicable disease theory and control." Australian Journal of Medical Science. "Webber's experience as a public health practitioner in developing countries is what sets this book apart. He understands the burden faced in these regions, and the limited time, knowledge and resources available for intervention. Therefore, in my opinion, it deserves a place on the desk and in the field kits of practitioners and students of public health, epidemiology and others at the front line of disease control."
