This 1955 hardcover edition of I.P. Pavlov – Selected Works, published by Foreign Languages Publishing House, brings together the most important scientific contributions of one of the most influential minds in physiology and psychology. Across its 653 pages, this authoritative compilation offers readers a profound understanding of the experimental foundations of Pavlov’s theories and the lasting impact of his scientific legacy.

Ivan Petrovich Pavlov, best known for his discovery of the conditioned reflex, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1904 for his pioneering work on the digestive glands. This volume not only includes detailed accounts of his Nobel-winning research but also features his extensive studies on higher nervous activity, the relationship between mental states and physiological processes, and the role of reflexes in behavior.

Through clear, precise language and the presentation of rigorous experimental data, Pavlov explains how his laboratory uncovered the subtle mechanisms by which animals, particularly dogs, could be trained to associate stimuli with specific responses. These discoveries laid the groundwork for behaviorism, influencing scientists and psychologists such as John B. Watson and B.F. Skinner.

The book is not just a collection of scientific reports—it’s a historical document that reveals the evolution of scientific methodology in the early 20th century and Pavlov’s own philosophical approach to science and education. For students of physiology, neuroscience, psychology, and the history of science, Selected Works is an invaluable reference.

Presented in a durable hardcover format with a comfortable 6 x 8.5 inch size, this edition is designed for long-term use, whether for academic reference, institutional libraries, or personal collections.
