Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. xiii, 106 pp; 43 figs. Original cloth. Very Good. First Edition. SIGNED BY WILHELM FELDBERG: "Sending you dear Marthe/ these greetings from the/ past with pleasure but with/ Wehmut as well/ Wilhelm/ London 16th III.82." Marthe is probably Marthe Vogt. In 1929 she met Feldberg. "Vogt coauthored a paper with Dale and Wilhelm Feldberg: 'Release of Acetylcholine at Voluntary Motor Nerve Endings' in 1936. Sir Henry Dale was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1936 based on the work described in this paper, and he credited Feldberg and Vogt in his lecture. . . . In 1948, Vogt published a seminal work with William Feldberg: 'Acetylcholine synthesis in different regions of the central nervous system'. The paper provides the earliest evidence for the role of acetylcholine as a neurotransmitter and demonstrated the regional distribution of cholinergic systems in the brain" (Wikipedia article on Marthe Vogt). This book is Feldberg's Autobiography, and his Sherrington Lectures XVI. "Feldberg was born in Hamburg to a wealthy middle class Jewish family. He studied medicine at Heidelberg, Munich and Berlin, graduating in 1925. In the same year he moved with his new wife to England and studied first under John Newport Langley at Cambridge and then Henry Dale at Hampstead. In 1927 he returned to the Physiological Institute in Berlin but he was dismissed in 1933 during the Nazi purge of Jewish scientists. With the aid of Archibald Hill's Academic Assistance Council, Feldberg was relocated to Britain's National Institute for Medical Research in 1934 36. Here, he worked with Henry Hallett Dale, providing a significant impetus for Dale's Nobel Prize winning research into chemical neurotransmission. Feldberg was subsequently offered a place in Australia, at the behest of Charles Kellaway, director of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research. He spent two years (1936 38) in Melbourne, joining Kellaway's snake venom research programme. This work developed into a study of tissue responses to direct and indirect insult, focusing particularly on the liberation of histamine and other endogenous mediators. A finding of lasting pharmacological interest from these studies was the identification and partial isolation of the slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis. Although Feldberg had earned a fellowship supported by the Australian National Health and Medical Research Council, in 1938 he was offered a readership in physiology at Cambridge University. He returned to England to take up this post, remaining there throughout World War II until 1949. Feldberg's subsequent appointments include: Head of Physiology and Pharmacology Division, National Institute for Medical Research, London, 1949 65 (Honorary Head of Division, 1965 66); Head, Laboratory of Neuropharmacology, National Institute for Medical Research, 1966 74. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1947 and made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1963" (Wikipedia article about Feldberg). Signed by Author(s). Seller Inventory # 8050

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. xiii, 106 pp; 43 figs. Original cloth. The front cover has been dampstained. It is not visible on the front cover, but is visible on the front pastedown. There is rippling of the pages in the first half of the book, in the bottom three inches of each page. You can see and feel the rippling, but there isn't a visible stain per se on the pages. But who cares? It is the inscription that makes this a fantastic copy. Good. First Edition. SIGNED BY WILHELM FELDBERG TO PETER MEDAWAR AND JEAN MEDAWAR: "To Sir Peter and Lady Medawar/ from the author; or much, much better: To dear Peter and to dear Jean/ with deep admiration and affection/ for both of you and with pleasure/ und 'Wehmut'./ Wilhelm/ London 17th March 1982." Feldberg is featured prominently in the book by Jean Medawar and David Pyke: Hitler's Gift. The True Story of the Scientists Expelled by the Nazi Regime (2001). The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1960 was awarded jointly to Sir Frank Macfarlane Burnet and Peter Brian Medawar "for discovery of acquired immunological tolerance.". Signed by Author(s).
