Description
Los Angeles: Glen Dawson [printed by William M. Cheney], 1955. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. One of 200 copies, duodecimo size, 35 pp. Harry "Ward" Ritchie (1905-1996) founded The Ward Ritchie Press, a fixture in the Southern California literary landscape, in 1932. He was responsible for publishing thousands of books, including over 750 which were designed by Ward Ritchie himself. Ritchie was therefore the natural selection to author this book in the "Early California Travels Series" on printing in California. The volume includes four original examples of early California printing tipped in, including an invoice from Bradshaw & Co. dated August 3rd, 1854; an invoice from James Patrick ("Importer of Butter") dated June 23, 1852; a bank draft drawn on Page, Bacon & Co., Bankers, dated Juine 9, 1854; and a stock certificate for 100 shares in the Chance Silver Mining Company, dated May 7th, 1874. A fascinating look at "job" printing in early California, by one of the pre-eminent California printers during the "Golden Age" of California fine press printing. Somewhat uncommon in the marketplace, we see only one copy online as of this writing. ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full tan cloth over boards, red lettering on the front, small decoration of a printing press in black under the title, tasteful Ex-Libris from the prior owner on the front pastedown, title page in red and black, the four original examples bound in throughout; duodecimo size, pagination: [2] [1-2] 3-31 [2]. ___CONDITION: Fine, with clean boards, straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and other than the Ex-Libris mentioned above entirely free of prior owner markings; clean, crisp, and as new. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

Description
London: Charles Griffin & Co., Ltd., 1902. First English edition. FIRST ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF PAVLOV'S FAMOUS WORK ON CONDITIONED REFLEXES, EARNING HIM THE NOBEL PRIZE IN 1904. 9 inches tall hardcover, publisher's red pebbled cloth, gilt title to spine. Light wear to covers and edge of spine, age-toning to pages that are crisp and unamarked; very good. IVAN PETROVICH PAVLOV (1849 – 1936) was a Russian physiologist known primarily for his work in classical conditioning. In 1870, he enrolled in the physics and mathematics department at the University of Saint Petersburg in order to study natural science. Pavlov won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1904, becoming the first Russian Nobel laureate. Pavlov's principles of classical conditioning have been found to operate across a variety of experimental and clinical settings, including educational classrooms. After completing his doctorate, Pavlov went to Germany where he studied in Leipzig with Carl Ludwig and Eimear Kelly in the Heidenhain laboratories in Breslau. He remained there from 1884 to 1886. Heidenhain was studying digestion in dogs, using an exteriorized section of the stomach. In 1886, Pavlov returned to Russia to look for a new position. In 1891, Pavlov was invited to the Imperial Institute of Experimental Medicine in St. Petersburg to organize and direct the Department of Physiology. Over a 45-year period, under his direction, the Institute became one of the most important centers of physiological research in the world. It was at the Institute of Experimental Medicine that Pavlov carried out his classical experiments on the digestive glands. That is how he eventually won the Nobel prize mentioned above.[19] Pavlov investigated the gastric function of dogs, and later, children, by externalizing a salivary gland so he could collect, measure, and analyze the saliva and what response it had to food under different conditions. He noticed that the dogs tended to salivate before food was actually delivered to their mouths, and set out to investigate this "psychic secretion", as he called it. The concept for which Pavlov is famous is the "conditioned reflex" (or in his own words the conditional reflex) he developed jointly with his assistant Ivan Filippovitch Tolochinov in 1901. He had come to learn this concept of conditioned reflex when examining the rates of salivations among dogs. Pavlov had learned that when a buzzer or metronome was sounded in subsequent time with food being presented to the dog in consecutive sequences, the dog would initially salivate when the food was presented. The dog would later come to associate the sound with the presentation of the food and salivate upon the presentation of that stimulus. The importance of this book is reflected by its citation in the Grolier Club 100 Books Famous in Science (No. 83), 100 Books Famous in Medicine (No. 85), and Garrison-Morton (No. 1022).
