About This Item

Carl Djerassi. The Pill, Pygmy Chimps, and Degas' Horse: The Remarkable Autobiography of the Award-Winning Scientist who Synthesized the Birth Control Pill. Basic Books: 1992. First edition boldly signed and inscribed "For Lee Evans, with compliments, Carl Djerassi, 5/6/92" on front free endpaper. In original dust jacket. Measuring 6.25 in x 9.25 inches, 319 pages with 25 black and white photographs. Called "the father of the pill" and known for the social consciousness he brought to chemistry, Djerassi's autobiography wrestles with the consequences of introducing contraception technology to the public and the way his thinking evolved with coinciding activism around a woman's "right to choose". Very small stain, running about 1.5" on edge . Otherwise in very good to near fine condition.

For over 30 years, we have served a clientele of collectors, private institutions, universities, and public libraries in acquisition and collection development.

We pride ourselves on the ability to track down the rarest and most interesting material for our client's collections.
