"To achieve the Every Woman Every Child vision and the Global Strategy for Women's Children's and Adolescents' Health, we need innovative, evidence-based approaches to antenatal care. I welcome these guidelines, which aim to put women at the centre of care, enhancing their experience of pregnancy and ensuring that babies have the best possible start in life."

Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary-General

"This report makes an important contribution to the transport, planning, health and climate change literature by sign-posting the need to assess co-benefits and co-costs of transport and land use planning interventions. With reference to the IPPC work, many of the implications of a technology-linked transport sector emissions mitigation agenda for public health – considered very broadly – were identified."

Ryan Falconer, Agitator for better transport outcomes

"Pocket Book of Hospital Care for Children: Guidelines for the Management of Common Illnesses with Limited Resources provides a second edition of a classic covering common illnesses, packages it in a pocket-sized tote for easy take-along consultation, and provides the latest clinical guidelines based on a review of evidence for both inpatient and outpatient care. Guidelines for hospitals with basic labs and medicines focus on managing major causes of child mortality in most developing countries, covering common procedures, diagnosis, patient monitoring, and common surgeries. Anyone working with children in a hospital setting needs this updated reference!"

James A. Cox, Editor-in-Dhief

"The technical report provides a fascinating, easy-to-read overview of infectious diseases, their origin and spread, and the complex, often unintended effects on public health that result from human interaction with the environment. The report is on-target in its call for a broad, systemic multi-disciplinary approach to research into the infectious diseases of poverty...The report is highly recommended for public health officials, environmental and agricultural scientists, medical researchers, and sociologists — in fact, anyone who is seeking a better understanding of the complex interactions of environment, agriculture, and infectious diseases."
