Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) are a major public health problem both in their own right and because of their link with HIV infection. This has elevated their control to an absolute priority throughout the world. In developing countries, which account for approximately 75% of the easily curable STI, as estimated by the WHO, and where sexually transmitted HIV infection has reached epidemic proportions, the need is most acute. Here AIDS is claiming hundreds of thousands of lives and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. In addition, because of inadequate resources, the sequelae of STI (e.g. infertility and some cancers) contribute greatly to ill-health in the tropics. This book written by acknowledged experts working or with experience in tropical countries, gives clear, concise and up to date knowledge and understanding on all aspects of Sexually Transmitted Infections. It should be useful for all those involved in the appropriate management and control of STI in various settings, ranging from peripheral and rural and urban health care centres to large hospitals. It will also be invaluable for students of tropical medicine, medical microbiology and genito-urinary medicine.

Without Reason is Charles Hart's deeply personal, authoritative first-person probe of autism and its effects on his family. He takes us through his childhood with an autistic brother who needed constant care, to his scholarship education at Harvard, his own family of better circumstance, and the autism of his son Ted. Armed with the available knowledge about autism - one of the most enigmatic of all known disorders - he has set out to improve the quality of life for his brother, his son, and other persons with autism and their families. 
Through his work with the Autism Society of America and the Association for Retarded Citizens, he has accomplished this goal by providing new opportunities for learning and growth for his brother Sumner, Ted, and other people with disabilities. This is a story of one family's triumph, its victory over a social system that rarely allows for special needs, and of personal reaction with a mysterious and frustrating disorder of the mind. Charles Hart understands autism as few others can and thus offers the reader an intimate view of a family's struggle, not for a cure but for understanding and accommodation of people disabled by autism.
