Pavlov babkin b p (3 risultati)

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Frontispiece, xiii, 365 pp. Original cloth. Very Good. First Edition. In his Foreword (p. vii), Babkin writes: "I am Pavlov s senior surviving pupil. I knew him well for thirty five years--from 1901 to the time of his death in 1936. I served for ten years as his assistant in the Department of Physiology at the Institute of Experimental Medicine in St. Petersburg. Our association in the laboratory developed into a lasting friendship. These circumstances entitle me to speak of Pavlov as a contemporary who was familiar with his scientific activity throughout the greater part of his life. Since the year 1949 is the centenary of I. P. Pavlov s birth, I felt that for me it was a duty as well as a privilege to communicate to those interested in his life and work all that I know about him. There was another consideration which influenced me in my decision to write this biography. It seemed to me that an account of Pavlov s life by one of his contemporaries who was closely associated with him might be of some value to future students of the cultural development of Russia." The Biographical Memoir of Babkin as a Fellow of the Royal Society of London makes this addtional point: "In November of 1949 he published Pavlov, an intimate and warm biography of his great teacher and friend. His urge to write this biography arose not only from his admiration and indebtedness to Pavlov, but because of the appearance of several biographies of Pavlov in Soviet Russia which he regarded as being inaccurate and politically biased.".…

Boris Babkin died May 3, 1950, so there was not a long period between the publication of his book in 1949 and his death in 1950 for Babkin to have signed copies. In his Foreword (see photo; p. vii), Babkin writes: "I am Pavlov s senior surviving pupil. I knew him well for thirty five years--from 1901 to the time of his death in 1936.
