"Your Child Abroad" is a down-to-earth guide for anyone travelling overseas with children, whether on a two-week family vacation or a long-stay posting in the developing world. The approach is both reassuring and practical, showing how to deal with situations ranging from the relatively minor to the life-threatening. A check-list of symptoms for common complaints and a range of useful contacts and further sources of information will prove invaluable for parents who are far from on-the-ground medical attention. This new edition provides a thorough update on the latest medical advice, including information on anti-malarial drugs, insect repellents and immunisations as well as case histories to learn from.

"...offers practical no-nonsense advice." The Times "An invaluable publication for parents travelling off the beaten track (and even on it)." Family Travel "...straightforward advice about planning and preparation as well as information on preventative care...in an easy-to-use format." Geographical Magazine "Peace of mind has rarely been so immediate and compact." Sunday Times "Excellent." The Independent "The answer for stress-free independent family travel." Outdoor Pursuits magazine When I started my own family whilst living and working in Nepal I couldn't find a a book which contained the information I needed as a parent in one place. So Jane and I wrote this book combining all the practical advice we could gather from our wide networks of overseas parents with our own medical knowledge and experience. We hope you find it useful. - matthew ellisIt took me a while to have the confidence to write this book, and then when I was living in Nepal with three boys under under six I thought surely this was experience enough. I certainly felt I learned as much about improvising and coping with emergencies in the wilds of Asia as I had done through all my bookish studies in Cambridge and Oxford. I hope our book empowers parents to travel intrepidly yet safely with the little ones, and so you'll come home with a wealth of good stories and fine photos.
