For the allergy-plagued traveler, foreign ports can rapidly lose their customary allure. If only it were possible to avoid those pesky, seemingly ubiquitous pollens, mold spores, and all those other troublemakers! to move in comfort from mountain to seashore, from cathedral to classical ruins!
Here is a book designed to help the travel¬er do just that. Allergy In the World is a con¬venient guide, for physician and layman, tell¬ing which allergens to expect where—and when—for some fifty countries and areas around the world. Included are lists of air¬borne allergens and allergenic plants, pollen and mold calendars, summaries of important climatic and geographic features, and, in some cases, brief discussions of local clinical problems.
The information, contributed by allergists from all over the world, is organized in a clear, uniform fashion to make its use as simple as possible. Thus the traveler seeking practical guidance, and particularly the phy¬sician advising allergic patients, will find this a convenient source of pertinent informa¬tion.

Dr. Alexander Roth, a graduate of the Uni¬versity of Kansas Medical School, is a spe¬cialist in allergy and immunology. Since 1962 he has been Chief of the Allergy Service of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Pro¬gram in Hawaii. In addition, he is director of the Allergy Clinic at Kauikeolani Children's Hospital in Honolulu, consultant in allergy for Tripler Army Medical Center Hospital, and Associate Clinical Professor of Pedia¬trics at the University of Hawaii. His publica¬tions include articles in a number of medical journals and chapters contributed to two books edited by F. Speer, The Allergic Child and Allergy and Immunology in Childhood.
