What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, Very Scarce, With Dustwrapper
The first edition, first impression of this vanishingly scarce work.
With the publisher's original unpriced dust wrapper.
Adolphe Abrahams was a British medical doctor and is considered to be the founder of British sports science. He was the medical officer of the British Olympic teams from 1912-1948 and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine.
In this work, Abrahams discusses the importance of understanding injuries resulting from various sports-related accidents. With the intention of being referenced by gym teachers, coaches and GPs.
With a foreword from his brother and Olympic champion, Harold Abrahams, who won the 100 metres sprint in 1924, an achievement depicted in the 1981 film 'Chariots of Fire'.
Illustrated with two pages of x-ray scans.
