First edition of Michael R. Hayden’s important 1981 monograph Huntington’s Chorea, published by Springer-Verlag. Foreword by G. Bruyn and illustrated with 69 figures. A significant early modern monograph devoted specifically to Huntington’s disease, published when the disorder was still widely referred to as Huntington’s chorea. Hayden discusses the disease from clinical, genetic, epidemiological, historical, pathological, and psychosocial perspectives, including the implications for affected families, inheritance, procreation, and predictive testing. The publisher described the work as the first single-author monograph written specifically for physicians dealing with Huntington’s chorea, making this an especially interesting title for collections in the history of neurology and medical genetics. Hayden’s work grew from his doctoral research at the University of Cape Town and appeared during an important period of expanding genetic research into Huntington’s disease. Original illustrated blue laminated hardcover featuring a historical scene on the front board. Dual Springer ISBNs for the European and North American issues are printed in the volume. Condition: Very Good. Original pictorial boards remain bright and attractive. Minor rubbing and shelf wear to the covers, with light bumping and rubbing at corners and spine ends. A few small surface scuffs and marks are present, particularly toward the edges and rear board. Binding is firm. Interior appears clean and well preserved with only light age toning. No dust jacket present. Please see photographs for condition details. An uncommon first edition with strong crossover appeal to collectors of neurology, neurogenetics, psychiatry, inherited disease, Huntington’s disease, and the history of twentieth-century medicine. SCI 3b Shipping/Returns: Carefully packed and shipped securely. Returns accepted in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.…
