Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: The first modern survey of the long and fascinating history of the various ideas and theories about the cause of scurvy, the nutritional deficiency disease that has caused (with the exception of famine) the most human suffering in recorded history. Professor Carpenter documents the arguments that led to the numerous theories about the disease and eventually to the isolation and synthesis of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), and illustrates how the changing ideas about scurvy reflected the scientific and medical beliefs of different periods in history. The author also examines the modern claims for the use of very high levels of vitamin C to bring about a state of super-health, and he analyses the most important evidence for and against this practice.…

From the blurb: "With the exception of famine, scurvy is probably the nutritional deficiency disease that has caused the most human suffering in recorded history. Scurvy plagued sailors on long ocean voyages and broke out whenever groups of people had to be supplied from a considerable distance, as in the California gold rush, the American Civil War, and Arctic expeditions.

In this book, Professor Carpenter surveys the long and fascinating history of the theories about the cause of this strange disease, and illustrates how the changing ideas about scurvy here reflected the central scientific and medical beliefs in each period.
