Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Third International Congress of Eugenics, held at New York's American Museum of Natural History in August 1932, was the single largest gathering of eugenicists--academics, researchers, medical specialists, and politicians--ever to have convened. A total of sixty-nine papers were presented at the two day conference, covering topics as widespread as birth selection versus birth control; immigration control; eugenics and education; heredity and environment; the dysgenic effects of war; heredity and disease; and, remarkable for the time, an advanced study of the science of genetics and inheritance. Among the many fascinating and ground-breaking specific studies were: - The Unification of the Anthropological Type of Italians and Its Eugenical Effects, presented by Dr. Marcello Boldrini, Professor of Statistics, Catholic University, Milan, Italy. - Blood Groups in Relation to Race in the Dutch East Indies, presented by Dr. H. J. T. Bijlmer, Ambon, Dutch East Indies. - The Handwriting of Introverts and Extraverts, presented by Dr. June E. Downey, University of Wyoming. - Racial Distribution and Its Causes, presented by Dr. Wilhelm Pessler, Hannover, Germany. - Harmonic Types among Western European Crania, presented by Ruth S. Wallis, Hamline University, St. Paul, Minnesota. - Virginia's Effort to Preserve Racial Integrity, presented by Dr. W. A. Plecker, Bureau of Vital Statistics, Richmond, Virginia. - The American People of Polish Origin in Texas, presented by Dr. Boleslaw Rosinski, Institute of Anthropology and Ethnology, Lwow, Poland. - The Effect of Migration on the Natural Increase of the Negro, presented by Dr. S. J. Holmes, University of California, Berkeley, California. - Heredity and Environment--Their Relative Roles in the Development of East Tennessee Mountain Children, presented by Lester R. Wheeler, State Teacher's College, Johnson City, Tennessee. - Selective Sterilization for Race Culture, presented by Dr. Theodore Russell Robie, Essex County Mental Hygiene Clinic, Cedar Grove, N. J. - Health Declaration before Marriage. Dr. Jon Alfred Mjøen, Oslo, Norway. The papers were first issued in book form two years after the conference. This brand new edition contains all sixty-nine papers, the appendices, and is fully indexed. It is has been completely reset, hand-edited, and proofed. It makes up the most complete record of this highly instructive period when medical science was actually dedicated to improving the lot of mankind through the prevention of inheritable afflictions, and race-betterment for all. It can also serve as a valuable starting point for a revived international eugenics movement should the politically-correct stranglehold on western science be broken once again.

Download or read book Merchants of Despair written by Robert Zubrin and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There was a time when humanity looked in the mirror and saw something precious, worth protecting and fighting for—indeed, worth liberating. But now we are beset on all sides by propaganda promoting a radically different viewpoint. According to this idea, human beings are a cancer upon the Earth, a species whose aspirations and appetites are endangering the natural order. This is the core of antihumanism. Merchants of Despair traces the pedigree of this ideology and exposes its deadly consequences in startling and horrifying detail. The book names the chief prophets and promoters of antihumanism over the last two centuries, from Thomas Malthus through Paul Ehrlich and Al Gore. It exposes the worst crimes perpetrated by the antihumanist movement, including eugenics campaigns in the United States and genocidal anti-development and population-control programs around the world. Combining riveting tales from history with powerful policy arguments, Merchants of Despair provides scientific refutations to antihumanism’s major pseudo-scientific claims, including its modern tirades against nuclear power, pesticides, population growth, biotech foods, resource depletion, industrial development, and, most recently, fear-mongering about global warming. Merchants of Despair exposes this dangerous agenda and makes the definitive scientific and moral case against it.

Book excerpt: From a leading British historian, the story of how fear of war shaped modern England By the end of World War I, Britain had become a laboratory for modernity. Intellectuals, politicians, scientists, and artists?among them Arnold Toynbee, Aldous Huxley, and H. G. Wells?sought a vision for a rapidly changing world. Coloring their innovative ideas and concepts, from eugenics to Freud?s unconscious, was a creeping fear that the West was staring down the end of civilization. In their home country of Britain, many of these fears were unfounded. The country had not suffered from economic collapse, occupation, civil war, or any of the ideological conflicts of inter-war Europe. Nevertheless, the modern era?s promise of progress was overshadowed by a looming sense of decay and death that would deeply influence creative production and public argument between the wars. In The Twilight Years, award-winning historian Richard Overy examines the paradox of this period and argues that the coming of World War II was almost welcomed by Britain?s leading thinkers, who saw it as an extraordinary test for the survival of civilization? and a way of resolving their contradictory fears and hopes about the future.

Download or read book For the Betterment of the Race written by S. Kühl and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-08-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Racism, race hygiene, eugenics, and their histories have for a long time been studied in terms of individual countries, whether genocidal ideology in Nazi Germany or scientific racial theories in the United States. As this study demonstrates, however, eugenic racial policy and scientific racism alike had a strongly international dimension. Concepts such as a 'Racial Confederation of European Peoples' or a 'blonde internationalism' marked the thinking and the actions of many eugenicists, undergirding transnational networks that persist even today. Author Stefan Kühl provides here a historical foundation for this phenomenon, contextualizing the international eugenics movement in relation to National Socialist race policies and showing how intensively eugenicists worked to disseminate their beliefs throughout the world.
Download or read book Normality written by Peter Cryle and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of us think we know what is meant when we hear the term "normal,” but Cryle and Stephens upend taken-for-granted attitudes about the term. They offer a history of the intellectual and cultural issues that have been at stake in the use of the term since it appeared around 1820. What is taken at one time or any one culture to be "aberrant” or "deviant” clearly depends on assumed meanings for norm and normality. The authors of this book explore this history--peppered with a fascinating series of case studies--to make sense of variations on the theme of identity (disability, gender, race, sexuality) in fields organized around identity. They locate the concept in the scientific spheres where it originated in its modern sense and they chart its transformations and developments from the 1820s in France (medicine) to the mid-20th century (Alfred Kinsey). They start with comparative anatomy and other branches of medicine before moving on to consider developments in fields as remote as craniometry, statistics, criminal anthropology, sociology, and eugenics. It is not enough to say, with David Halperin, that ”queer” is "whatever is at odds with the normal, the legitimate, the dominant.” Cryle and Stephens move beyond a simple binary opposition between "normal” and "abnormality” to give us the whole picture, from the Continent to the U.S., and in all the contexts that distinguish the normal from other available terms (such as typical, average, respectable, conventional, white and heterosexual, and uniform). "Normality” has had a long struggle to secure its cultural dominance and authority, a story which is told here for the first time.
Download or read book The Nazi Connection written by Stefan Kuhl and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2002-02-14 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Hitler published Mein Kampf in 1924, he held up a foreign law as a model for his program of racial purification: The U.S. Immigration Restriction Act of 1924, which prohibited the immigration of those with hereditary illnesses and entire ethnic groups. When the Nazis took power in 1933, they installed a program of eugenics--the attempted "improvement" of the population through forced sterilization and marriage controls--that consciously drew on the U.S. example. By then, many American states had long had compulsory sterilization laws for "defectives," upheld by the Supreme Court in 1927. Small wonder that the Nazi laws led one eugenics activist in Virginia to complain, "The Germans are beating us at our own game." In The Nazi Connection, Stefan Kühl uncovers the ties between the American eugenics movement and the Nazi program of racial hygiene, showing that many American scientists actively supported Hitler's policies. After introducing us to the recently resurgent problem of scientific racism, Kühl carefully recounts the history of the eugenics movement, both in the United States and internationally, demonstrating how widely the idea of sterilization as a genetic control had become accepted by the early twentieth century. From the first, the American eugenicists led the way with radical ideas. Their influence led to sterilization laws in dozens of states--laws which were studied, and praised, by the German racial hygienists. With the rise of Hitler, the Germans enacted compulsory sterilization laws partly based on the U.S. experience, and American eugenists took pride in their influence on Nazi policies. Kühl recreates astonishing scenes of American eugenicists travelling to Germany to study the new laws, publishing scholarly articles lionizing the Nazi eugenics program, and proudly comparing personal notes from Hitler thanking them for their books. Even after the outbreak of war, he writes, the American eugenicists frowned upon Hitler's totalitarian government, but not his sterilization laws. So deep was the failure to recognize the connection between eugenics and Hitler's genocidal policies, that a prominent liberal Jewish eugenicist who had been forced to flee Germany found it fit to grumble that the Nazis "took over our entire plan of eugenic measures." By 1945, when the murderous nature of the Nazi government was made perfectly clear, the American eugenicists sought to downplay the close connections between themselves and the German program. Some of them, in fact, had sought to distance themselves from Hitler even before the war. But Stefan Kühl's deeply documented book provides a devastating indictment of the influence--and aid--provided by American scientists for the most comprehensive attempt to enforce racial purity in world history.
