Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

x, 315 pp; text figures. Original cloth. Spine sunned. Corners of covers a little bent. Very Good. This copy does NOT have any library markings. First Edition. COPY OF SALVADOR LURIA, with his printed last name "LURIA" on front flyleaf (in pencil; see photo). Luria attended the symposium in 1941, but did not make a presentation. However he did participate in the discussions, which were recorded, edited and included in this volume--see pp. 37, 111, 166, 192, 193 for Luria's contributions to the discussions. His longest contribution is on p. 166 (see photos). Luria had met Max Delbrück in December 1940 and they began their collaboration during the summer 1941 at Cold Spring Harbor. In his autobiography "A Slot Machine, a Broken Test Tube", Luria describes the summer 1941 working at Cold Spring Harbor with Delbrück (pp. 34-35; I have included photos of those two pages and can email the text in a Word file, upon request). Milislav Demerec was the organizer and wrote the "Foreword" (see photos). Quoting Jan Witkowski on the Cold Spring Harbor website: "Just as Eric Ponder had chosen his own field of research for the topic of his last Symposium, so Demerec did the same for his first Symposium. But although the title of the 1941 Symposium suggests that Demerec had broken with the biophysical emphasis of the earlier Symposia, the studies reported in this meeting relied heavily on biophysical approaches and techniques. It was only with the 1946 Symposium on "Heredity and Variation in Microorganisms" that genetics became the theme that was to dominate the Symposia for the next two decades. Demerec came to the Carnegie Institution's Department of Genetics at Cold Spring Harbor in 1923 to work on unstable loci in Drosophila, and later on he used X-rays to induce mutations. He justified his choice of the Symposium topic on the grounds that mathematics, chemistry and physics all played an important role in the studies of genes and chromosomes--mathematics is used by geneticists to analyse their data; chemical analysis is used to determine the constituents of genes and chromosomes; and physical techniques were being used to examine the structure of chromosomes. There are several intriguing facts associated with this Symposium. It was Barbara McClintock's first visit to Cold Spring Harbor and she described the breakage-fusion-bridge cycle in maize chromosomes; she would join the Department of Genetics in 1942. Salvador Luria and Max Delbruck were there, and they stayed for summer to work together for the first time--this led, after the war, to the Phage Course and to the Laboratory becoming the headquarters of the Phage Group. "H. J. Muller's declaration in his summing-up--"The time has come when a few . . . of the physicists and biochemists realize that genes and chromosomes do form valid subjects of inquiry, and that what the biologists have been saying about their mysterious properties calls for some more looking into on their part"--would be fulfilled many times over in the post-war years. One of Demerec's first changes to the Symposium format was to have it last only two weeks instead of the customary five! This may have contributed to the increased number of participants to 120--about double the usual number. Demerec remarked in the Annual Report that the Symposium volume was selling well and had been adopted by some as an advanced textbook.". …
