Cesare Lombroso
L’uomo delinquente
In-4°; pp.(4), 255, (1), con quattro illustrazioni, di cui una applicata a p. 65. Legatura coeva in mezza pelle con angoli. Edizione originale dell’opera di Cesare Lombroso (1835-1909) considerata fondamentale per la nascita dell’antropologia criminale. Lombroso fu un convinto seguace del positivismo francese, che applicò ai suoi studi di medicina sociale; riallacciandosi a tesi già percorse relative alla criminalità innata e biologicamente condizionata, Lombroso si spinge nell’Uomo delinquente a sostenere che i comportamenti criminosi possono essere determinati da predisposizioni di natura fisiologica, che si manifestano in particolari conformazioni anatomiche del cranio. Pesa sugli studi lombrosiani un forte assoluto determinismo. PMM 364. Govi 317.

Fletcher, Horace.
OPTIMISM. A Real Remedy. With a Foreword by William Dana Orcutt.
78p. + Portrait frontis. 8vo. Original cloth backed paper binding. Paper spine label worn. One of the earliest promoters of changing how one eats was Horace Fletcher (1849-1919) of Lawrence, MA. He evolved a system called Fletcherism, concerned chiefly with the slow mastication (chewing) of food. If you follow Fletcherism, you will chew each bite of food until it becomes a watery mass in your mout h before swallowing. This has two effects. First, if you chew a bite of food that long, you will be consuming your meal at a slower rate. Secondly, the reduction of this food to a watery mass means th at it will be less difficult to extract nutrients from the food. PHREN 2
