Seller's Description:
Fine. No Dust Jacket Present. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. 321 pages. "Only three decades ago, the prevailing image of the womb was that of a time capsule with a short lease, relatively impermeable to circulating drugs or toxicants. The mother's body was considered an altruistic reservoir, prepared to sacrifice itself to the fetus's sustenance. That the fetus was unsheltered from environmental toxicants was illuminated by two tragedies: the Minimata Bay epidemic of methyl mercury poisoning and the outbreak of thalidomide-induced phocomelia in Australia, England and Europe. The use of drugs during pregnancy began to receive close scruntiy." FINE HARDCOVER.
