The Epoch Breaking Writings of an Historic Pioneer,
By ScottTownsendPublishers (Washington D.C.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essays in Eugenics (Paperback)
Reprint of the original epoch-breaking 1909 publication by one of the greatest scholars of modern times. Sir Francis Galton was not only a pioneer of climatology, demography, and statistics, but also the founder of modern eugenic thought.
These essays summarize his conclusions as to the importance of heredity and the need for eugenic measures to counteract the dysgenic influences, which were already in his time beginning to affect the more advanced nations of the world.

The mother of ecology,
By Dalton C. Rocha (Fortaleza, CE, Brazil.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Essays in Eugenics (Paperback)
I tried to read this garbage, here in Brazil.I found this garbage on internet.This garbage is biased, false, absurd and bigoted.Ironically, the author never had a son.He was sterile, as so many other eugenicists.
Today, we are worried about the menace to the nature.While this garbage was beeing published, there was a menace to race. This book has many pages about inteligence, but what was or is inteligence? Today eugenics is called ecology. This garbage has just some uses: 1-To see how a pseudo-science is preached.The same tecnicks are used today for ecologists. 2-To see stooge can be an intellectual. 3-To hee that mankind is ever, looking for to believe in absurds.Witch-hunting, eugenics, ecology are manias at their times. |
