疾病的地理学一直是一个令人兴奋的领域，可以产生关于因果关系的想法，许多重大发现都来自对区域和国际变化的思考和调查。这本小书，由两位经验丰富的作者撰写，不仅是一本“好书”，而且提供了大多数年轻医生应该知道的关于各种慢性疾病的地理知识。这个国家的任何医科学生都会从阅读这本书中受益，当然也不应该在没有一本副本的情况下冒险去国外选修课；对于发展中国家的医学和健康科学专业的学生来说，这是了解疾病分布的一个很好的方法。对于任何想要开始思考病因和预防可能性的医生来说，这本书是一个很好的起点。这不是一本流行病学方法的教科书，它没有“令人不快的统计数据”，读者的阅读也不会受到只有专家才感兴趣的大量参考资料的阻碍。我唯一的批评是，这个标题不够吸引人，甚至可能具有误导性；也许在序言中加上适当的注释的《疾病地理学》更适合下一版。我很高兴看到这本书被列在国内外所有医学院学生的推荐阅读清单上，它肯定会激发社区医生、病理学家和那些有求知头脑的内科医生和外科医生的兴趣。
The geography ofdisease has always been an exciting area for the production of ideas about causation, and many major discoveries have come from the contemplation and investigations of regional and international variations. This small book, by two well-experienced authors, is not only a 'good read' but it provides all that most young doctors should know about the geography ofa wide range ofchronic diseases. Any medical student in this country would benefit from reading it and certainly should not venture on his elective abroad without a copy in his possession; and for medical and health science students in the developing countries, this is an excellent way of getting a perspective on disease distribution. For any reflective doctor who wants to start thinking about causal factors and preventive possibilities, this book makes a good starting point. This is not a text-book of epidemiological methods, it carries no 'unpalatable statistics' and one's reading is not impeded by a host of references that are only of interest to the specialist. My only criticism is that the title is not appealing and may even be misleading; possibly 'The Geography of Disease' with suitable caveats in the preface would be better for the next edition. I would be pleased to see this book on the recommended reading list for all medical students here and abroad and it will certainly excite the interest ofcommunity physicians, pathologists and those physicians and surgeons with enquiring minds.
