C. Everett Koop, MD, former Surgeon General of the United States, reviewed the book and wrote, "Medical service in developing countries poses tremendous challenges, ranging from diagnosing and treating unfamiliar diseases to bridging culture and communication chasms. Having traveled extensively and served overseas, I can assure you that you need all the help you can get. This excellent volume offers a convenient resource packed full of technical and practical information to help you meet the challenges of overseas healthcare. It provides you with the opportunity to "consult" with skilled and experienced doctors who have successfully faced these challenges. Keep this booklet on hand at all times and refer to it often. It can help you avoid common mistakes, develop effective treatment plans, and save lives. I highly recommend it."

| MEDICAL MISSIONS: READY, SET, GO! |
 |
Authors: Bruce Steffes, CEO, Pan-African Academy of Christian Surgeons
Publisher: Steffes Publishing, 2009 196 pages, paperback |
This unique, faith-based book is based on the premise that experiencing medical missions is not like other short-term or long term mission experiences. In addition to all of the usual stresses that all missionaries experience in a new environment, trying to practice medicine the way you have been taught in a world where you have so little is very difficult. You will often get blind-sided when you least expect it. You can minimize the pain you will feel and increase your effectiveness if you take the advice in this book. It is designed to make you think about the situation and your possible reaction before it happens. This book is full of the insights (spiritual, philosophical and practical) needed by you who are considering medical missions. Some of the material is revised from the popular preceding Handbook for Short-Term Medical Missionaries but in addition, there are 10 new stories from Dr. Steffes' personal experiences in medical missions. The stories are sometimes humorous, sometimes sad and on occasion, embarrassing. They all demonstrate what God is able to teach you and how He can work with and through you. If you are interested in what God might have to say to you about becoming a medical missionary, this is just the book. It is also a great way for non-medical people to understand the particular stresses that medical missionaries face every day. If you are a short-term missionary, it is the perfect-sized book to slip into your pocket and take with you to the mission field.

| THE SPIRIT CATCHES YOU AND YOU FALL DOWN |
 |
Authors: Anne Fadiman
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Girous: New York, 1997 352 pages, paperback |
The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down explores the clash between a small county hospital in California and a refugee family from Laos over the care of Lia Lee, a Hmong child diagnosed with severe epilepsy. Lia's parents and her doctors both wanted what was best for Lia, but the lack of understanding between them led to tragedy. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Current Interest, and the Boston Book Review Rea Award for Non-fiction, Anne Fadiman's compassionate account of this cultural impasse is literary journalism at its finest.

| FORGOTTEN PEOPLE, FORGOTTEN DISEASES |
 |
Authors: Peter J. Hotez, Ph.D.
Publisher: ASM Press; 1st Edition (May 2008) 215 pages |
Some of the worst tropical diseases in the world have too long been ignored. Parasitic and bacterial diseases such as hookworm, snail fever, river blindness, guinea worm, elephantiasis, sleeping sickness, and leprosy are the most common infections of third-world populations. These neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) represent one of the most important reasons why populations living in Africa, Asia, and Central and South America remain caught in a vicious cycle of poverty, stigma, and despair.
With a lifetime devoted to the subject of tropical diseases, the well-known expert Dr. Peter Hotez provides a comprehensive view of these forgotten diseases. Written in accessible, straightforward language, Forgotten People, Forgotten Diseases thoroughly explains the most significant NTDs, including social and economic aspects, public health concerns, and preventative measures.
This volume will raise public awareness about these forgotten diseases and their enormous physical, social, and economic costs to individuals and nations alike, and advocates for the largely voiceless victims living in remote and rural regions. Dr. Hotez also provides a roadmap to coordinate global advocacy and mobilization of resources to combat these conditions. Finally, the book addresses unique opportunities to fight the NTDs through low-cost and highly cost-effective control measures.

| THE END OF POVERTY: ECONOMIC POSSIBILITIES FOR OUR TIME |
 |
Author: Jeffrey Sachs
Publisher: Penguin (Non-Classics); 1st Edition (February 28, 2006) 416 pages, paperback |
Marrying vivid eyewitness storytelling to his laser-like analysis, Jeffrey Sachs sets the stage by drawing a vivid conceptual map of the world economy and the different categories into which countries fall. Then, in a tour de force of elegance and compression, he explains why, over the past two hundred years, wealth has diverged across the planet in the manner that it has and why the poorest nations have been so markedly unable to escape the cruel vortex of poverty. The groundwork laid, he explains his methods for arriving, like a clinical internist, at a holistic diagnosis of a country's situation and the options it faces. Rather than deliver a worldview to readers from on high, Sachs leads them along the learning path he himself followed, telling the remarkable stories of his own work in Bolivia, Poland, Russia, India, China, and Africa as a way to bring readers to a broad-based understanding of the array of issues countries can face and the way the issues interrelate. He concludes by drawing on everything he has learned to offer an integrated set of solutions to the interwoven economic, political, environmental, and social problems that most frequently hold societies back. In the end, he leaves readers with an understanding, not of how daunting the world's problems are, but how solvable they are-and why making the effort is a matter both of moral obligation and strategic self-interest. A work of profound moral and intellectual vision that grows out of unprecedented real-world experience, The End of Poverty is a road map to a safer, more prosperous future for the world.
