This lively volume takes the armchair traveler quite literally around the world, as Dr. Jack Kennerdell, an ophthalmic surgeon who specializes in diseases of the orbit, takes readers along on a series of reminiscences about his “orbital” journeys as a medical world traveler. From his origins in a small town in Western Pennsylvania, Dr. Kennerdell describes the many places he has visited—across Europe and Asia, throughout the United States, and into South America and Africa—giving readers a glimpse of cultural flavors as well as practical advice on world travel.
