<p>Strasbourg F.G. Levrault. 2 volumes. 8vo. Contemporary half calf. With 2 folding engraved. The first geological textbook in France based on the teachings of Werner.

His deviation of Werner's teaching was the insertion of Tertiary formations between the Secundary deposits and diluvial clays and gravels. He was together with Leopold von Buch and Alexander von Humboldt one of the three great pupils of Werner Zittel pp. 143-144. Stamps and marks of previous owner. A very good copy.

Anderson, Roy M & May, Robert M
Infectious Diseases of Humans: Dynamics and Control
Oxford U.K.: Oxford University Press 1992. This book deals with infectious diseases -- viral bacterial protozoan and helminth -- in terms of the dynamics of their interaction with host populations. The book combines mathematical models with extensive use of epidemiological and other data. This analytic framework is highly useful for the evaluation of public health strategies aimed at controlling or eradicating particular infections. Such a framework is increasingly important in light of the widespread concern for primary health care programs aimed at such diseases as measles malaria river blindness sleeping sickness and schistosomiasis and the advent of AIDS/HIV and other emerging viruses. Throughout the book the mathematics is used as a tool for thinking clearly about fundamental and applied problems having to do with infectious diseases. The book is divided into two parts one dealing with microparasites viruses bacteria and protozoans and the other with macroparasites helminths and parasitic arthropods. Each part begins with simple models developed in a biologically intuitive way and then goes on to develop more complicated and realistic models as tools for public health planning. 757 pp. Illustrated. Average shelfwear and some minor rubbing to the edges and corners. First Edition. Soft Cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Oxford University Press Paperback
