Very Good First Edition in original publisher's cloth. Binding remains sound and square with strong hinges and a clean, well-preserved text block. Gilt lettering remains bright and legible. Minor rubbing and shelf wear consistent with age. Interior pages are clean and unmarked aside from a contemporary presentation inscription on the front free endpaper reading, "A gift from H. B. Slater to the Riverside Community Hospital, June 6, 1928." Complete with all 15 plates as called for. A handsome and well-preserved example of an important early medical work. A landmark contribution to the emerging science of virology, edited by Thomas M. Rivers, widely regarded as one of the founders of modern virology. Published during a formative period in virus research, this volume assembles contributions from leading investigators studying the nature, transmission, cultivation, and pathology of so-called "filterable viruses"—organisms then only beginning to be understood as distinct from bacteria. Contributors include several pioneering figures whose work helped establish virology as an independent scientific discipline. The volume captures a pivotal moment in medical history, documenting scientific understanding of viral diseases before the advent of electron microscopy, molecular biology, and modern vaccine development. Topics include experimental methods, viral pathology, epidemiology, and laboratory investigations that laid the groundwork for much of twentieth-century infectious disease research. An increasingly desirable title for collectors of medical history, infectious disease literature, microbiology, public health, and early virology. Copies complete with all plates and possessing contemporary provenance are becoming difficult to locate in collectible condition. Carefully packed and shipped in a box. Shipped via USPS with tracking provided. International shipping available. Additional photographs available upon request. Please review photographs carefully, as they form part of the description. Returns accepted within the AbeBooks 30-day return window. SCI 4b. …
