Beschreibung
Pavlov & the Kingdom of Dogs. charts the extraordinary life of lvan Pavlov (1849-1936), a pivotal figure in the history of science, psychology, and animal experimentation. Academic psychologist Matthew Adams and artist-illustrator Sophie Burrows tell the remarkable story of Pavlov's improbable journey from provincial religious scholar to the pinnacle of Soviet science. By the eve of World War I, the Russian Nobel Prize-winning scientist had become a global icon, overseeing multiple laboratories across St. Petersburg, dogs recruited from the city's streets in their hundreds to take part in countless experiments. But this is no ordinary biography of a 'great man of science'. Beneath his public triumphs lurked darker forces, personal and professional secrets that threatened to topple his 'kingdom of dogs'. As war, revolution, and political upheaval reshaped Russia beyond recognition, Pavlov's fate-and that of his research-hung in the balance. Pavlov & the Kingdom of Dogs. is a gripping and thought-provoking graphic text about science, ethics, power, and survival in a time of chaos.
