8vo. ix, [3], 331, [1] pp. Frontis portrait, figures, index. Blue-green gilt-stamped cloth. Very good. Ernst Georg Pringsheim Jr. attended the Realgymnasium in Breslau until graduating in 1902. He then studied natural sciences at the universities in Munich, Breslau and from 1904 to 1906 in Leipzig, in particular botany, zoology and chemistry. He was inspired to study physiology by his doctoral supervisor Wilhelm Pfeffer. Pringsheim received his doctorate in Leipzig in 1905. In 1906, Pringsheim became an assistant at the Institute of Plant Physiology in Breslau, but moved to the same position at the Botanical Institute of the University of Halle in the same year. In 1909 he habilitated in botany and in 1912 published a highly regarded monograph on the stimulus movements of plants. From 1920 to 1923 he was an associate professor at the University of Berlin. In 1923, Ernst Pringsheim received a salaried associate professorship at the German University of Prague, where he was appointed full professor and director of the Institute of Plant Physiology in 1924. In December 1932, Pringsheim was appointed to a chair of botany at Goethe University in Frankfurt by the Prussian Ministry of Culture. After the National Socialist seizure of power, however, he was no longer appointed. After emigrating, Pringsheim found employment in 1939 as curator of the Culture Center of Algae and Protozoa in Cambridge, now based in Oban in the UK. Emeritus in 1951, Ernst Pringsheim continued his research at the Strangeway Laboratories in Cambridge until 1953.
