About This Item
Prague: Academia Praha, 1987. 1st ed. . Grey Cloth. VG-Fine/Good-VG. 16 Cms x 24 Cms. 138 pp.; small Roger Smith ownership stamp to front pastedown, half-title inscr. 'With compliments/ Jiro (?) Hoskovec/ Prague', otherwise clean, tight and unmarked in clean unworn covers, unclipped jacket clean but widely edge-rubbed, will add protective sleeve when ordered. Purkyne's texts mainly in German, one French, one Czech, also a Russian summary at end, introductory and editorial text in English. Purkyne (or Purkinje as usually anglicised) (1787-1869) was a pioneer Czech physiologist/ neurologist especially concerned wiht what would now be called physiological psychology', especially in relation to perception. He is now remembered almost soley by the 'Purkinje effect' (colour sensitivity shifts to blue end of spectrum as light level declines) but this collection of hithero unpublished manuscript material shows that his contribution was far broader than this.
