Build your house, choose your clothes and guard your water differently under a tropical sun. George Giles gathered the hard-won hygiene of hot countries into a practical manual of climate, housing, food and disease. A vivid record of colonial-era tropical medicine and the outlines of early climatology. Read how earlier travelers tried to stay well in the heat.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
