Brighton: Sussex Academic Press 2008. Book. Like New. Cloth. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. This book documents and critically analyzes the photographs that helped strengthen as well as bring down the Eugenics Movement. Using a large body of racial-type images and a variety of historical and archival sources and concentrating mainly on developments in Britain the USA and Nazi Germany the author argues that photography as the most powerful visual medium of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries was vital to the Eugenics Movement's success - not only did it allow eugenicists to identify the people with superior and inferior hereditary traits but it helped publicize and lend scientific authority to eugenicists' racial theories.The author further argues for a strong connection between the racial-type photographs that eugenicists created and the photographic images produced by nineteenth-century anthropologists and prison authorities and that the photographic works of contemporary liberal anthropologists played a significant role in the Eugenics Movement's downfall.Besides adding to our knowledge of photography's crucial role in helping to authorize and implement some of the most controversial social policies of modern times this book makes a major contribution to our understanding of the history of racism. Most accounts of eugenics have been written by history of science scholars with an emphasis on the history of science and medicine. In contrast "Picture Imperfect" looks at eugenics from the standpoint of its most significant cultural data - racial-type photography investigating the techniques media forms and styles of photography used by eugenicists and relating these to their racial theories and their social policies and goals.Indeed the visual archive was crucially constitutive of eugenic racial science because it helped make many of its concepts appear both intuitive as well as scientifically legitimate. Discussion of the history of the eugenics movement encompasses a wide narrative including Nazi history US politics criminology and prison studies and propaganda.286pp. Sussex Academic Press Hardcover

London: Simon & Schuster 2009. Book. Like New. Cloth. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. Darwin's Armada tells the stories of Charles Darwin Thomas Huxley Joseph Hooker and Alfred Wallace four young amateur naturalists from Britain who voyaged to the southern hemisphere during the first half of the nineteenth century in search of adventure and scientific fame. It charts their thrilling voyages to the strange and beautiful lands of the southern hemisphere that reshaped the young mariners' scientific ideas and led them on returning to Britain to befriend fellow voyager Charles Darwin. All three crucially influenced the publication and reception of his Origin of Species in 1859 one of the formative texts of the modern world. For the first time the Darwinian revolution of ideas is seen as a genuinely collective enterprise and one that had its birth in a series of gripping and human travel adventures. Many of the most urgent ecological and social issues of our times are seen to be prefigured in this compelling story of intellectual discovery. Simon & Schuster Hardcover
Toronto: Natural Heritage Books 2010. Book. Like New. Paperback. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. When the Lincoln Alexander Parkway was named it was a triumph not only for this distinguished Canadian but for all African Canadians. This book looks at the history of blacks in the Ancaster-Burlington-Hamilton area their long struggle for justice and equality in education and opportunity and their achievements presented in a fascinating and meticulously researched historical narrative. Although popular wisdom suggests that blacks first came via the Underground Railroad the possibility that slaves owned by early settlers were part of the initial community then known as the 'Head of the Lake' is explored. Adrienne Shadd's original research offers new insights into urban black history filling in gaps on the background of families and individuals who are very much part of the history of this region while also exploding stereotypes such as that of the uneducated low-income early black Hamiltonian. 374pp. Natural Heritage Books Paperback
