About this Item
xvi, 486 pp. Index. Occasional black and white diagrams and reproductions of photos. "A leading investigator of poliomyelitis and its epidemics for more than thirty years, Dr. Paul contributed steadily to the advances that eventually led to its control. No one has more intimate knowledge of the investigators and the extraordinary events that preceded the final denouement. Nearly all the investigators of the twentieth century were known personally to Dr. Paul, and he writes warmly and knowledgeably of them. His clear exposition of events that shaped the course of vaccination against polio during the past twenty years provides an invaluable record which, at the same time, becomes a delightful and kindly revelation of the people involved. Includes many portraits and accounts of the less well-known figures in this historical drama." - dust jacket. "Will surely stand as one of the most authoritative publications of its kind and the standard reference on the subject." - Pharmacy in History. Artistic library bookplate inside front board is folded one inch over onto top of front board, otherwise contents clean and unmarked. Binding intact. Somewhat average wear to publisher's orange cloth. Considerable loss and above-average wear to fragile, price-clipped dust jacket which is now preserved in new archival-grade Brodart.
