paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Folklore of the Teeth' is an expansive and scholarly exploration of the myths, legends, and cultural traditions surrounding human dentition across different civilizations and eras. Leo Kanner provides a detailed account of how various societies have interpreted the biological reality of teeth through the lens of superstition, religion, and folk medicine.The work delves into a wide array of fascinating topics, including the legendary 'tooth worm' believed to cause decay, the diverse rituals associated with the loss of primary teeth, and the myriad of folk remedies used to alleviate toothaches before the rise of modern dental science. Kanner catalogs global customs ranging from tooth decoration and mutilation to the symbolic significance of the first tooth. By examining the intersection of dentistry and folklore, the book reveals the deep-seated human anxieties and creative solutions surrounding oral health.This text serves as a vital resource for anthropologists, medical historians, and anyone interested in the social history of medicine.
