Accra GHANA: Fairwais. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1976. Hardcover. Library REBIND in hardcover with original paperback wraps bound in, library stamps/marks/labels/pocket, otherwise light wear. Solid hardcover.; "Ibiquitous melanin influcnes the appearance of most observable lesions. This is particularly so in the cases of diseases of the eye where so much depends upon visual observations. ... The purpose of this atlas is to present some common eye conditions in Africans in pictorial form. A few conditions have been included, which, though not common, are considered sufficiently interesting to warrant inclusion. As most existing colour atlases of the eye are of the Caucasian eye, this atlas is meant to complement them by showing the diseases as they appear in the negro. Special sections have been included on onchocerciasis, acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis and the ocular manifestations of sickle cell disease." - Preface. ; Ex-Library; 111 pages .
