This is a monograph published by the Syntex Corporation which, gives a detailed description and history of the Steroid, molecule and how they have adapted it to be used in a number of, different pharmaceutical products, including anti-inflammatory, agents and contraceptives. The monograph goes on to describe a, number of different uses for steroids, pharmaceutical products, the company has created and marketed, some history of the, company and it's purpose and outlook, etc. A fascinating look, at both a company philosophy and a early view of the subject of, contraceptives from the pharmaceutical perspective. This, paperback monograph is in Very Good to Near Very Good+, condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The book and, its contents are in generally clean, bright condition. The, covers have some edge wear, bumping and beginning rubbing,, especially to the spine joints. The covers also have some, waviness. The text pages are clean and bright. "If you look at, a steroid in its pure form you will see a crystalline powder,, white or nearly white; but a proper definition goes deeper than, that. The word steroid means like a sterol. Sterols are certain, solid alcohols that are abundant in animals and plants; the, major sterol in man and other vertebrates is cholesterol.", (from Wikipedia)
