    Lemurs of the Lost World

    "Jane weaves a wonderful sense of place and people into this book."

    Deanne Urmy, HMCO, Boston, Mass

    Your Child Abroad: a travel health guide

    "many parents are nervous about travelling with young children.....this book, written by people who have lived overseas, tells you what you need to know"

    Rated No 3 of the 50 Best Books for New Parents by The Independent newspaper

    How to Shit Around the World

    Very funny book and the chapters are blocked out in a good length with funny stories throughout the chapters. It even has a recommended vaccination requirement for traveling, in what countries the shots are needed and if the shots would do anything.
