New York: W. W. Norton & Co., Inc., 1945. First edition, a wartime book (stated).
1945 SCARCE FIRST PRINTING OF LANDMARK AUTOBIOGRAPHY BY WALTER CANNON, WHO DEFINED THE FIGHT OR FLIGHT RESPONSE.
8 1/2 inches tall hardcover, 229 pages, red cloth binding, covers lightly stained, spine darkened, corners and spine ends rubbed, residue from rusty paper clip on front paste-down and front free endpaper, text unmarked, very good minus. 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.

New York: Khepri Press, 2017. Limited Edition. Cloth. As New in Fine Dustjacket. Limited Edition. Cloth. Alchemy is the art and science of bringing something to its final perfection, or its completion, much as a work of art is completed or perfected. And so, at heart it is about creation, creator, and creativity. Rooted the Alexandrian alchemical tradition and working from a new translation of the Emerald Tablet, Alchemy: The Poetry of Matter is the author's personal exploration of the union of material and non-material alchemical practice, that is of physical alchemy and inner alchemy. Engaging the Way of the Philosopher, and through direct experimentation, several areas are investigated in light of the Emerald Tablet - Chrysopoiea, the Green Lion, the Quintessence and Aurum potabile. - Author's website. Bound in cloth with risograph printed dust jacket. Limited edition of 28 of which this is ___. 28 covers each with one letter of the Arabic alphabet. Kanat typeface designed by Lara Captan.

Philadelphia: P. Blakiston, Son & Company, 1898. Second Edition. Hardcover. Very good. The first textbook on the subject published in the United States. A native of Ohio, Lane (1828-1902) "ranks among the giants of nineteenth-century California medical history and education," according to historian John David Smith. He graduated from Philadelphia's Jefferson Medical College in 1851, studied in Europe, served as an assistant surgeon in the U.S. Navy for four years, then settled in San Francisco, where his uncle Elias A. Cooper had established the first medical college on the Pacific Coast. In 1870, Lane reorganized and took over leadership of his uncle's medical school; his extensive financial support led the school to be renamed as the Cooper Medical College in honor of his uncle. The school merged with Stanford University in 1909 (the Cooper campus in San Francisco served as the Stanford Medical School clinical campus until 1959). Ten years in the making, Lane's textbook was intended to be the…
