ISBN10: 0521347734, ISBN13: 9780521347730, [publisher: Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, first paperback edition, 1988] Softcover First Edition Laminated illustrated wrappers, 8vo, 23 cm, viii, 288 pp, ills. From the blurb: "With the exception of famine, scurvy is probably the nutritional deficiency disease that has caused the most human suffering in recorded history. Scurvy plagued sailors on long ocean voyages and broke out whenever groups of people had to be supplied from a considerable distance, as in the California gold rush, the American Civil War, and Arctic expeditions. It also appeared as a "disease of affluence" in the 1880s among infants receiving proprietary foods as substitutes for breast-feeding. In this book, Professor Carpenter surveys the long and fascinating history of the theories about the cause of this strange disease, and illustrates how the changing ideas about scurvy here reflected the central scientific and medical beliefs in each period. The History of Scurvy and Vitamin C is the first full-length treatment of the subject to be written in over 60 years. It is an engrossing story in the history of science and medicine that spans five centuries." Near Very Good. [LONDON, United Kingdom] [Publication Year: 1988]
Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, Date: 1988. Paperback. Good. Paperback. 9" X 6". viii, 288pp. Bumps and mild shelf wear to covers, corners, and edges of paper wraps. Faint toning to endpapers. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: The first modern survey of the long and fascinating history of the various ideas and theories about the cause of scurvy, the nutritional deficiency disease that has caused (with the exception of famine) the most human suffering in recorded history. Professor Carpenter documents the arguments that led to the numerous theories about the disease and eventually to the isolation and synthesis of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), and illustrates how the changing ideas about scurvy reflected the scientific and medical beliefs of different periods in history. The author also examines the modern claims for the use of very high levels of vitamin C to bring about a state of super-health, and he analyses the most important evidence for and against this practice. This fascinating story in the history of science and medicine will be of interest to the historian, scientist and the general reader.(Publisher). 1988. Cambridge University Press ISBN 0521347734 US
