George Lewis and Mary Hopper of Cornell University Medical School, and J. Walter Wilson and Orda Plunket, Los Angeles County Hospital, joined to write Introduction to Medical Mycology, published in this 1958 fourth edition by Year Book Publishers, Chicago.

The 453-page hardbound book covers the coming-of-age of this area of considerable practical interest, say the authors, since diseases caused by fungi or in which fungi may be suspected as etiologic, constitute a sizable percentage of the disorders affecting the skin, and to a lesser degree, other organs of the body. It is of interest, they say, to dermatologists, specialists in other fields, and general practitioners.

And, with 118 illustrations, including black/white and color photos, it's a fount of information. A bibliography of reference books is included, as is a complete index.

The book itself is quite difficult to find in today's marketplace, but this is in Very Good condition. It is ex lib, with the usual library markings, but neither the cover nor inside pages show any apparent defects. A great resource -- at a bargain price! (5432)
