Ivan Pavlov
Although Russian scientist Ivan Pavlov is best known for his experiments with dogs, which were key to the development of behaviorism, few realize that he actually won the 1904 Nobel Prize for his research on digestion. Author Barbara Saunders examines Pavlov's enormous contributions to our modern understanding of the relationship between the mind and body.
