This complete edition is produced in full compliance with the government's regulations for conserving paper and other essential materials". Light stain to upper right corner of front and back covers dampstaining to edges of dust jacket which has edge tears along top edge pages are clean and unmarked. Overall good. First printings of this wartime book an autobiography published the year of Cannon's death are very scarce. WALTER BRADFORD CANNON 1871 - 1945 was an American physiologist professor and chairman of the Department of Physiology at Harvard Medical School. He coined the term fight or flight response and he expanded on Claude Bernard's concept of homeostasis. In his autobiography The Way of an Investigator Cannon counts himself among the descendents of Jacques de Noyon a French Canadian explorer and coureur des bois. A high school teacher Mary Jeannette Newson became his mentor. "Miss May" Newson motivated and helped him take his academic skills to Harvard University. In 1896 his first year at Harvard Medical School he started working in Bowditch's Lab and in 1900 he received his medical degree. After graduation Cannon was hired by Harvard to instruct in the Department of Physiology. In 1906 Cannon became Higginson Professor and chairman of the Department of Physiology at Harvard Medical School a position he held until 1942. From 1914 to 1916 he was also President of the American Physiological Society. In 1915 he coined the term fight or flight to describe an animal's response to threats in Bodily Changes in Pain Hunger Fear and Rage: An Account of Recent Researches into the Function of Emotional Excitement.

Original printed wrappers except for no. 12 or without wrappers as issued. Very good to fine. First/First Separate Editions. Cannon professor and chair of the Department of Physiology at Harvard Medical School was one of the pre-eminent physiologists of the 20th century making fundamental contributions to our knowledge of digestion the autonomic nervous system homeostasis and stress response. Cannon was the first to use X rays to study the digestive system; his work laid the foundations of gastrointestinal radiology. "His pioneering research done with a series of collaborators examined the nature of swallowing gastric peristalsis the time of passage for different foodstuffs out of the stomach into the duodenum control of the pylorus and peristalsis of the small intestine" Dictionary of Scientific Biography. He spent most of the 1920s researching the autonomic nervous system the part of the nervous system responsible for controlling unconscious bodily functions such as the heartbeat. Cannon also introduced the case system into medical education at Harvard see no. 2 below. Three of the offprints in this collection bear presentation inscriptions from Cannon. Another offprint is from the library of Nobel Laureate Archibald V. Hill who was awarded a share of the 1922 Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine for his researches on the production of heat and mechanical work in muscles.

Very Good with darkened spine lettering worn tips diagonal crease to ffep lacking dust jacket. Quite rare signed. The author was an American physiologist who riginated the concept of homeostasis. This particular work introduced the world to the "fight or flight response." According to an article on him in BrainImmune an online neuroendocrine immunology review "He asserted that not only physical emergencies such as blood loss from trauma but also psychological emergencies such as antagonistic encounters between members of the same species evoke release of adrenaline into the bloodstream. To Cannon the body"s responses to 'fight' are the same as those to 'flight.' Adrenaline exerts several important effects in different body organs all of which from Cannon"s point of view maintain homeostasis in fight-or-flight situations. In the skeletal muscle of the limbs adrenaline relaxes blood vessels increasing local blood flow." Garrison Morton 1200. D. Appleton and Company unknown books

GARRISON-MORTON No. 1029. Cannon introduced the bismuth meal. He showed that bismuth opaque to x rays could be of great use in conjunction with roentgenology in the investigation of the digestive tract. This was Cannon's first major work describing his classic experiments on the physiology of digestion and his applications of x-rays to the evaluation of gastrointestinal functions. WALTER BRADFORD CANNON 1871 - 1945 was a protege of Henry Bowditch America's first full-time physiologist and succeeded him as professor at Harvard in 1902. "As a young investigator Cannon continued his research on the digestive system. Working extensively with radiographic methods he investigated gastrointestinal motility the nature of gastric peristalsis the mechanism of swallowing and control of the pylorus. Cannon published his observations and explanations in an influential 1911 text The Mechanical Factors in Digestion offered here often identified as a classic work on gastrointestinal physiology and radiology."
