From the rear cover: "This unique volume presents an up-to-date review of one of the world's major health problems -- diseases caused by the four dengue viruses. It begins with an insightful story of the origin of dengue disease outbreaks, including the emergence of severe and fatal dengue hemorrhagic fever. The nature, structure and biology of the four dengue viruses are described, and a major portion of the book is focused on the epidemiology of dengue as a mosquito-borne disease. This is complemented by critiques of existing mosquito control programs by three groups of outstanding authorities. The strongest element of the volume is its comprehensive description of the current understanding of dengue disease pathogenesis, followed by an analysis of the pros and cons of five of the most controversial areas in the field: the WHO DEF case definition, secondary dengue infections, virulent viruses, the role of abnormal T cells and autoimmunity.". 1st ed?

Hardcover. pp. vii, 275. Larger 4to. 'Private Papers of James Boswell from Malahide Castle' - the first publication of Boswell's private papers, which had, since Boswell's death in 1785, lain locked in a cabinet sequestered in the estate of Lord Talbot de Malahide, until the copyright to them was acquired by Lieut. Col. Isham, 'as a result of which this long-shut gateway into the eighteenth century was finally unlocked'. Prepared for the press by Geoffrey Scott and Frederick A. Pootle, whose 'duty has here been confined (except in Vol. VI) to establish the text and chronology of the documents; to classify them with a view to the special character of this edition; and to provide some brief explanatory prefaces.' The printer was William Edwin Rudge. After printing, the type was distributed. This is volume XIV of an eighteen volume set, and continues Boswell's Dutch tour (related in volume II) commencing in June 4, 1764, and concluding on November 21, 1764. An extensive Introduction precedes the narrative. The book is bound in red paper over boards, with a paper spine label. The spine is sunned and lightly stained at the bottom edge, but the boards are otherwise tight and clean, and in very good condition. Internally, this volume is in excellent condition, with uncut pages (hence, never read). (We have other volumes available in this very scarce set).
