First Edition. Columbia Biological Series number XVIII. COPY OF NOBEL LAUREATE SALVADOR LURIA, with his name and date (1959) written on front flyleaf (see photo).

Salvador Luria shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1969 with Max Delbrück and Alfred Hershey "for their discoveries concerning the replication mechanism and the genetic structure of viruses." "This book is based on the Jesup Lectures delivered in April, 1956, in the Department of Zoology of Columbia University in the City of New York. A portion of the text is unchanged and the colloquial style generally retained. . . . The scope of the lectures was a reappraisal, on the basis of present knowledge, of the theory of the gene" (p. 1). "The many visitors who came to work with Ponte in Glasgow carried away varied impressions, but one common theme has been expressed by K. M. Dronamraju (personal communication), who wrote that: 'Before my departure for Glasgow, I recall reading Haldane's copy of Ponte's book, 'Trends in Genetic Analysis', and was struck by its simplicity and clarity. Indeed, his writing style was much better than that of many who were born and brought up in England, and it reminded me of Dobzhansky, who was equally skilled in English although his mother tongue was Russian.' (Bernard L. Cohen, "Guido Pontecorvo ('Ponte'): A Centenary Memoir", Genetics, Vol. 177, no. 3, November 2007, pp. 1439-1444). "In his Jesup lectures entitled 'Trends in Genetic Analysis', Pontecorvo traces several of his insights into the nature of the genetic material to his teacher H.J. Muller. Indeed he has expressed the opinion on several occasions, including his Raman lectures on the Development of Genetic Ideas, that Muller's contributions to the evolution of the gene theory have not been adequately appreciated. Muller had an equal regard for his pupil. Prof. S. P. Ray Chowdhury, a contemporary of Pontecorvo at Edinburgh, once told me the following anecdote. Muller, it seems, had the habit of supervising his students rather closely, urging them to organise their work into well-spelt projects and encouraging them to mutually criticise each other's plans. Someone in the group once asked him why he did not do this to Pontecorvo. Muller replied 'Guido? He does not need this; he has his own ideas' " ("Biographical Sketch" by Obaid Siddiqi, in "Topics in Genetic Analysis Selected Papers of G. Pontecorvo Raman Professor, 1982-83", which was published in 1985).…
