Hardcover. Zustand: Good. First Edition Thus. A stated First Edition Thus, being in effect a second and enlarged edition of Proposed Sterilization of Certain Mental and Physical Degenerates, which he published in 1903. Like other eugenicists of his era, motivated as they were more by racialized notions and unscientific understandings of mental health and reproduction, he "called attention to the large and increasing number of the insane in the United Kingdom; to our disgraceful system of child-marriages; to the growing suicide rate; to our disgusting system of inducing certain mentally and physically disease persons to marry; and to a slight operation which I was the first to propose as a means of checking the increase in the number of the insane, and in preventing innocent off-spring from being cursed by some parental blemish" (p. vii). A perfectly serviceable reference copy; nothing fancy, but complete and sturdy. Red cloth bindings, still sharp gilt lettering to spine, slight forward cock to spine, moderate toning to endpapers, text-block, xiv [1], 2-182 pp. Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Race Culture; or, Race Suicide ' by Robert Reid Rentoul, published in 1906, presents a thought-provoking exploration of race, culture, and population dynamics at the turn of the century. Rentoul delves into the anxieties surrounding declining birth rates and perceived threats to racial identity, framing his arguments within the context of contemporary social and political debates. This work serves as a valuable historical document, reflecting the eugenicist sentiments and concerns prevalent during the early 20th century. Rentoulâ?(TM)s plea for the unborn raises questions about societal values, reproductive choices, and the future of civilization as it was then envisioned. Readers interested in the history of social thought, race relations, and the development of eugenics will find this book a fascinating and challenging read.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Divine retribution, Robert Reed argues, is a principal driving force in Shakespeare's English history plays and three of his major tragedies. Reed finds evidence of the playwright's growing ingenuity and maturing skill in his treatment of the crime of political homicide, its impact on events, and God's judgment on the criminal.Reed's analysis focuses upon Tudor concepts that he shows were familiar to all Elizabethans--the biblical principle of inherited guilt, the doctrine that God is the fountainhead of retribution, with man merely His instrument, and the view that conscience serves a fundamentally divine function--and he urges us to look at Shakespeare within the context of his time, avoiding the too-frequent tendency of twentieth-century critics to force a modern world view on the plays.Heaven's power of vengeance provides an essential unifying theme to the plays of the two historical tetralogies, Julius Caesar, Hamlet, and Macbeth. By analyzing these plays in the light of values held by Shakespeare's contemporaries, Reed has made a substantial contribution toward clarifying our understanding of the plays and of Elizabethan England.…
