Staying Healthy in Asia, Africa, and Latin America is packed with important information basic enough for the short-term traveler, yet complete enough for someone living or traveling off the beaten path. Besides providing a complete overview of the health problems that exist in these areas, the book emphasizes that the main factors that determine your health-- proper immunization, nutrition, personal cleanliness, and mental attitude-- are things over which you have a great deal of control. Produced by Volunteers in Asia, a respected nonprofit organization, this revised and expanded edition covers:

PREVENTION OF ILLNESS

• Immunizations: required and recommended
• Health supplies to take with you
• Eating and drinking safely
• Precautions for heat, cold, and high altitude

GUIDELINES IN CASE OF ILLNESS

• Common health problems: treating simple illnesses
• Infections and diseases: recognizing symptoms
• Medications: using them correctly.
• First aid (extensively illustrated)

Author Dirk Schroeder is a research associate at Cornell University. He has spent seven years working on health research issues in Indonesia, Mexico, and Central America.

The Trans-Cultural Study Guide, consisting of hundreds of though provoking questions organized by topic area, was designed to help the reader systematically study any country or culture. Written and published by Volunteers in Asia, a non-profit organization which places emphasis on building understanding between cultures, this guide was written to facilitate inquiry into any country or culture, by students anywhere.
