This superbly illustrated work provides short accounts of the lives and scientific contributions of all of the major pioneers of Tropical Medicine. Largely biographical, the stories discussed enlighten a new generation of scientists to the advances made by their predecessors. Written by Gordon Cook, contributor to the hugely popular Manson s Tropical Diseases , this report discusses the pioneers themselves and offers a global accounting of their experiences at the onset of the discipline."
