This is a personal story, about one man’s determination to do something about a world wide health problem. It has something for everyone. Good stories, good science and a great purpose; to make the world a better place. This is an uplifting book, and one which will bear re-reading and reflection. But that’s not all. The funds raised by the book will go to the University of Glasgow Centre for International Development (GCID) scholarship scheme, routed through the Chancellor’s Fund, to fund postgraduate students from developing countries. It thus both engages the reader and encourages more research and personal development. What could be better, and I am delighted to support the book and the project.” Sir Kenneth Calman, Chancellor of the University of Glasgow www.gla.ac.uk/gcid
