P M, father of tropical medicine in England born Aberdeen, Scotland, worked in Formosa and China, 1871, and Hong Kong, 1883, studied elephantiasis in China, showed that it was caused by a parasite spread by the mosquito, the first disease shown to be transmitted by an insect vector. Founded London School of Tropical Medicine in 1899. Manson proposed the extracorporeal life cycle for the malarial parasite in the mosquito in 1894 which was followed up by Sir Ronald Ross, 1857-1932 who demonstrated its presence in the Anopheles mosquito in 1897. P M also described the periodicity of filarial parasite & identified the Anopheles mosquito as its vector in 1879.

You will find the LOCATION of our Bookstore on Google. ALL our books are thoroughly cleaned. All books with dust jackets/ wraps are completely covered in 50 or 75 micron High Density PolyEthylene (= "plastic" = archival acetate film), as are books without dust jackets costing more than US$20. Soft-covers and hard-covers without Dj s are covered in adhesive plastic. While we have neither insects nor dampness in our shop, you might find that the total plastic cover keeps both at bay. Covering the whole book means that the common edge-wear described by so many dealers is mostly absent in our books. Any "plastic" is easily removable, it is not adhered to the book nor to the dust jacket. We do not use sellotape nor any other tape which discolours. We restore books where necessary and describe ONLY EXCEPTIONS to a perfect state. Faults in expensive books are described in huge detail. WHEN RESTORED the majority of "faults'' are visible only with great difficulty and certainly NOT in an image. To avoid misleading you we include few images. Please be guided by the very full descriptions. If no faults are described in a cheaper book, please be guided by the Condition. RESTORATION SERVICE.
