Authors
Tropical Medicine was originally published by Blackwell Scientific in 1981, written solely by Dion R. Bell.[1] A second edition was released in 1985, a third in 1990, and a fourth in 1995, all edited by Dion R. Bell, though the fourth edition included sections by other authors.[2] In 2004 a fifth edition was published, this time edited by Nick Beeching and Geoff Gill.[3] Gill and Beeching also worked as editors on the sixth and seventh editions of the text, published in 2009[4] and 2014.
In the early 1980s, Bell wrote and released a companion book: Multiple Choice Questions on Lecture Notes on Tropical Medicine. It contained 200 questions and was sold for £3.5 (1984) (equivalent to £11.29 or US$14.03 in 2023)[5][6]
The first edition was written entirely by Bell, but by the fourth edition, the decision had been made to include sections written by other authors.[2] The fifth edition was multi-authored completely by professors of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine,[3] and, out of the sixth edition's twenty one contributors, all but one were connected to the school, Liverpool University or the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.[4]
