![]() ![]() Petersburg in late imperial Russia, suffered the cataclysmic destruction of his world during the Bolshevik seizure of power and civil war of 1917-1921, rebuilt his life in his 70s as a "prosperous dissident" during the Leninist 1920s, and flourished professionally as never before in 1929-1936 during the industrialization, revolution, and terror of Stalin. Pavlov was born to a family of priests in provincial Ryazan before the serfs were emancipated, made his home and professional success in the glittering capital of St. Ivan Pavlov: A Russian Life in Science is also a traditional "life and times" biography that weaves Pavlov into some 100 years of Russian history-particularly that of its intelligentsia-from the emancipation of the serfs to Stalin's time. This iconic "objectivist" was actually a profoundly anthropomorphic thinker whose science was suffused with his own experiences, values, and subjective interpretations. Contrary to legend, Pavlov was not a behaviorist (a misimpression captured in the false iconic image of his "training a dog to salivate to the sound of a bell") rather, he sought to explain not simply external behaviors, but the emotional and intellectual life of animals and humans. Combining personal documents with a close reading of scientific texts, Todes fundamentally reinterprets Pavlov's famous research on conditional reflexes. Todes makes use of a wealth of archival material to portray Pavlov's personality, life, times, and scientific work. Ivan Pavlov: A Russian Life in Science is Todes's magnum opus, which he has been working on for some twenty years. She was also the first person (male or female) to be awarded two Nobel Prizes, the second award being the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, given in 1911.This is a definitive, deeply researched biography of Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936) and is the first scholarly biography to be published in any language. Among the 892 Nobel laureates, 48 have been women the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize was Marie Curie, who received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903. Two laureates have been awarded twice but not in the same field: Marie Curie (Physics and Chemistry) and Linus Pauling (Chemistry and Peace). Also the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Bardeen twice, and the Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Frederick Sanger. UNHCR has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize twice. Six laureates have received more than one prize of the six, the International Committee of the Red Cross has received the Nobel Peace Prize three times, more than any other. Two Nobel laureates, Jean-Paul Sartre (Literature, 1964) and Lê Ðức Thọ (Peace, 1973), declined the award Sartre declined the award as he declined all official honors, and Thọ declined the award due to the situation Vietnam was in at the time.
