This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1850 edition. Excerpt: ...this rule may not hold good in many single fami ies that may be noticed, but it will always do so when the average is taken of a large number, and the chances are of course in the same ratio in every instance. Thus in every case when the father is over eighteen years older than the mother it is two chances to one that the child will be a boy, and in three hundred such births there would be just two hundred male to one hundred females; while if the mother be so much the elder the chances and results will be just the same the other way. The relative age, therefore, has a most potent influence over the sexual formation, but still there are evidently other agencies also, because it does not operate in every individual case, and we must therefore endeavor to discover what those other agencies are. My own impression is that in the exceptional cases, where the elder parent does not impart the sex, it is owing to the younger parent being much the more vigorous. This view I have ad many opportunities of verifying, in confidential communications, and I have almost invariably found it correct. This also shows why it is that the greater age is no advantage beyond a certain period. Thus for instance if the father be overfifty, while the mother is under thirty-five, the rule will change, and the number of girls will predominate. We also find that the greater number of first children are boys, especially if born soon after marriage, owing to the father being naturally most powerful then. In illegitimate children on the contrary there are most girls. probably because in many of these cases the female is more vigorous than ordinary.--In those countries where polygamy predominates, or where, the men have several wives, there are many more girls born than...

Download or read book An Annotated Catalogue of the Edward C Atwater Collection of American Popular Medicine and Health Reform A L written by Christopher Hoolihan and published by University Rochester Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a catalogue of the Edward C. Atwater Collection of rare books dealing with "popular medicine" in early America which is housed at the University of Rochester Medical School library. The books described in the catalogue were written by physicians and other professionals to provide information for the non-medical audience. The books taught human anatomy, hygiene, temperance and diet, how to maintain health, and how to cope with illness especially when no professional help was available. The books promoted a healthy lifestyle for the readers, giving guidance on everything from physical fitness and recreation to the special health needs of women. The collection consists of works dealing with reproduction [from birth control to delivering and caring for a baby], venereal disease, home-nursing, epidemics, and the need for public sex education. These books, covering areas largely ignored by the medical profession, made important contributions to the health of the American public, and the collection is a vital piece of medical history. The collector is Edward C. Atwater, Professor Emeritus of Medicine and the History of Medicine at the University of Rochester Medical School. Christopher Hoolihan is History of Medicine Librarian at the University of Rochester Medical School's Edward G. Miner LIbrary.
Download or read book Cannabis A History written by Martin Booth and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-09-30 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To some it's antisocial anathema, to others it is a harmless way to relax, or provides relief from crippling pain. Some fear it is a dangerous drug that leads to 'reefer madness' and addiction; to others still it is a legal anomaly and should be decriminalized. Whatever the viewpoint, and by whatever name it is known, cannabis - or marijuana, hashish, pot, dope, kif, weed, dagga, grass, ganja - incites debate at every level. In this definitive study, Martin Booth - author of the acclaimed OPIUM: A HISTORY - charts the history of cannabis from the Neolithic period to the present day. It is a fascinating, colourful tale of medical advance, religious enlightenment, political subterfuge and human rights; of law enforcement and customs officers, smugglers, street pushers, gang warfare, writers, artists, musicians, hippies and pot-heads. Booth chronicles the remarkable and often mystifying process through which cannabis, a relatively harmless substance, became outlawed throughout the Western world, and the devastating effect such legislation has had on the global economy. Above all, he demonstrates how the case for decriminalization remains one of the twenty-first century's hottest topics.

Download or read book A Genealogy of Appetite in the Sexual Sciences written by Jacinthe Flore and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-11 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a genealogy of the medicalisation of sexual appetite in Europe and the United States from the nineteenth to twenty-first century. Histories of sexuality have predominantly focused on the emergence of sexual identities and categories of desire. They have marginalised questions of excess and lack, the appearance of a libido that dwindles or intensifies, which became a pathological object in Europe by the nineteenth century. Through a genealogical approach that draws on the writings of Michel Foucault, A Genealogy of Appetite in the Sexual Sciences examines key ‘moments’ in the pathologisation of sexuality and demonstrates how medical techniques assumed critical roles in shaping modern understandings of the problem of appetite. It examines how techniques of the patient case history, elixirs and devices, measurement, diagnostic manuals and pharmaceuticals were central to the medicalisation of sexual appetite. Jacinthe Flore argues that these techniques are significant for understanding how a concern with ‘how much?’ has transformed medical knowledge of sexuality since the nineteenth century. The questions of ‘how much?’, ‘how often?’ and ‘how intense?’ thus require a genealogical investigation that pays attention to the emergence of medical techniques, the transformation of forms of knowledge and their effects on the problematisations of sexual appetite.
