Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - First part of the book presents a unique and coherent study of natural amputations due to congenital absence, disease, frostbite, toxins, domestic and wild animal trauma, and non-medical reasons related to punitive, ritual and legal decisions.
