Add to basketBlue Cloth. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. No Additional Printings. Blue Cloth. Very Good/No Jacket. No Additional Printings. Hardback. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 342 pages; from the Introduction: " 'The Story Behind the Word' consists of an alphabetical compilation of over five thousand seven hundred derivations of medical te…rms, giving the origin and history of each term along with brief biographies of great personalities of medicine. To most people the languaage of medicine seems to be a purposefully difficult jargon designed to impress and confuse. At first glance medical terminology seems to be a hopeless hodgepodge of Latin and Greek. However, medicine, like a nation has a language of its own and there is a "story behind each word." " Book condition: Spine cover is faded only a bit; owner's signature, in ink, is on the front fly--and "1958", in ink, is written at the bottom of the title page; two tipped-in clips of book ads (including this book), clips circa 0.5 inch wide x 5 in. long, are placed at the top of the rear inside cover. Otherwise, book is in nice condition.
