Descrizione

Roy. 4to., First Edition, with 47 plates (the majority containing several photographs), and 165 illustrations, diagrams and maps in the text; original burgundy cloth, gilt back, covers very lightly age-marked else a very good, bright, clean copy. Sold from an institution with its bookplate and several neat stamps. London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Memoir No. 10. The author's final and most important work, and a standard reference. Patrick Buxton (1892-1955) was one of the leading medical entomologists and parasitologists of his generation. Working in both tropical and desert environments he became an expert in the connections between insect life and human diseases. His most popular work is probably 'Animal Life in Deserts' (1923) but the present work, published in the year of his death, will undoubtedly prove his lasting memorial. Scarce in anything like this condition.
