This book made me feel much better about my difficulties with thinking in Russian first and foremost. (Those troubles have caused slight friction.)
The text has built on my ancient fascination with the STEM fields of study secondly, which is worth noting next.
Lastly, this made me realise I have "trained" a number of beings around me in a Pavlovian manner for my own purposes... (It's so weird what happens with my cat! I'm telling the truth.) This is what the Soviet government recognised could happen. However, pneumonia can't be persuaded through political means to bypass anyone - the story is that I nearly succumbed to it in early 2008 myself. (Then I think there were some other hospital diseases that attack weakened immune systems as well, but... long story short: here I am, reviewing s Pavlov book I really enjoyed five and a half years later.)
Places to continue study from here: Russian, psychology, neurology, early 1900's history, experimentation, other Pavlovian books such as Babkin, Cuny, and his actual publications on conditioned reflexes, psychopathology and psychiatry.
So I am very content with what I found here.
