Controlling Human Heredity: 1865 to the Present
ISBN: 9781573923439 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the late nineteenth and the early twentieth century, it was widely assumed that society ought to foster the breeding of those who possessed favorable traits and discourage the breeding of those who did not. Controlled human breeding, or "eugenics" as it was called, was a movement with broad support that lasted into the 1930s. In this concise historical account, the author answers the questions of why eugenics, the search for means to propage only "good genes," was so attractive earlier in the the twentieth century, why it then fell into disrepute, and whether it has returned today in the...

The Politics of Heredity: Essays on Eugenics, Biomedicine, and the Nature-Nurture Debate
ISBN: 9780791438220 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The essays collected in The Politics of Heredity explore the political factors underlying shifts in thinking about the role of nature and nurture in shaping human behavior, and about the desirability and feasibility of controlling human reproduction. They ask why many assumptions that were simply taken for granted as late as the 1950s and '60s came to be considered fundamentally mistaken in the 1970s and '80s. They also suggest that some apparent shifts in thinking were not as deep as they may seem, and that changes in rhetoric may obscure the stability of core underlying beliefs.
