We are mortified. We modified the print file to correct a small typo, and the pagination reset to 1 with each chapter! All of the content is the same, but the page numbers are incorrect, which renders the index unusable. If this is not a problem for you, you can get one of these books at a steep discount. If you received one by accident, let us know and we will make it right. Saving lives in Tanzania with Tiba Salama
