Zustand des Schutzumschlags: dj. First Edition. Large Quarto. 29cm. Publisher's original deep bottle green cloth titled in gilt to spine and front board. Dustjacket. 974pp. A near fine copy in dustjacket, with only the lightest traces of wear. An eccentric and fascinating fully illustrated history of the science of Radiology, the X-Ray, intersections with military nuclear research etc. Interestingly, and this would seem to be entirely dependent upon the scholarly eccentricity of Dr. Grigg, the history veers into grammar, symbology (an assessment of how many radiological institutions and authorities have mandala-inspired logos and emblems is particularly odd and facinating), and the metaphysical or esoteric aspects of the development of x-ray science. It's a far cry from the usual dry medical monograph, and manages to be informative and compelling whilst also remaining energetic and rather joyful, which is not a word usually applied to the development of medical equipment.
