Thanks for the appreciation.

We debated including an index, but realized that this is really a physical book concept. In ebooks, first, there is a search function, which works more efficiently than an index. Secondly on Kindle and other devices, there is no concept of a static page number, like in a PDF, so the concept of an index doesn’t work. There is a table of contents that provides an overview of the content and a quick way to jump to specific sections.

We have added a couple of series of ebooks on our website at gideononline.com/ebooks and are working to improve the increase the content from our GIDEON online web application. This will allow users to access the content either via the web or through an ebook.

THANK YOU for a concise guide that will be useful for health care providers everywhere, especially those going to Haiti to help with relief efforts.

THANK YOU for the specific details — incidence of particular diseases in Haiti; graphs describing percentage of population vaccinated; extensive lists of synonyms for the names of each disease; links to sources in each section.

THANK YOU for making this material free and easily accessible.

Since you asked for feedback: the only thing I can think of that would make this outstanding volume even more useful would be an alphabetical index of disease names, synonyms for disease names, and names of the pathogens that cause the diseases. That would make it even easier to find the particular information you are searching for.

I can’t wait to see the other books in this series!

This is an excellent resource, and should be an integral part of any medical library. A must-read for any physician interested in geographical pathology and infections! I will recommend it to our members.
