No dust jacket present. A previous owner was Flemmie P. Kittrell name on fep. A fascinating work a statement of purpose 'arranged in the form of a catechism' from the American Eugenics Society of which Huntington was president. 'This book is an attempt to state in simple but accurate language the main principles of eugenics and their application to social problems.' Ellsworth Huntington September 16 1876 – October 17 1947 was a professor of geography at Yale University during the early 20th century known for his studies on environmental determinism/climatic determinism economic growth and economic geography. He served as president of the Ecological Society of America in 1917 the Association of American Geographers in 1923 and president of the board of directors of the American Eugenics Society from 1934 to 1938. Flemmie Pansy Kittrell December 25 1904 – October 3 1980 was the first African American woman to earn a Ph.D. in home economics. Her Ph.D. focused on nutritional interventions to address high Black mortality rates in the 1930s and she was also the first African American woman to get a Ph.D. from Cornell University. She transformed the field of home economics in the United States and internationally through research and programming on adult nutrition Black infant feeding practices and the importance of preschool enrichment experiences for children. Her work was foundational to the development of Head Start a national social program that provides early childhood education health and nutrition services to low-income children and families in the United States. Kittrell also served as an international ambassador using home economics to address global malnutrition and poverty. The American Eugenics Society AES was a pro-eugenics organization dedicated to "furthering the discussion advancement and dissemination of knowledge about biological and sociocultural forces which affect the structure and composition of human populations". It endorsed the study and practice of eugenics in the United States. Its original name as the American Eugenics Society lasted from 1922 to 1973 but the group changed their name after open use of the term "eugenics" became disfavored; it was known as the Society for the Study of Social Biology from 1973–2008 and the Society for Biodemography and Social Biology from 2008–2019. The Society was disbanded in 2019. During the Progressive Era Huntington expressed concern about immigration and the race mixing. He claimed that liberal immigration policy would lead to the "highest racial values" being "irrevocably swamped by those of lower calibre." Tomorrow's Children is a historical text outlining the goals of the eugenics movement in the United States. The book serves as a "catechism" or guide for the American Eugenics Society detailing the goals and principles of eugenics during that era. It discusses the application of eugenic principles including controversial ideas surrounding population control and sterilization which were active topics of debate in the 1930s.

Red velvet chemise with original signed photograph 15/25 / 10 x 7" both housed in red velvet slipcase. Missing second photograph. Black endpapers. Known for his iconic photographs using miniature figures and toys this volume echoes Edward Hopper paintings and urban life in for Levinthal typical "dreamlike" settings. "Ever the strategist David Levinthal risks seeming idiotic throwing off those who seek to understand him. He likes declaring with innocent aplomb how much "fun" it is to make art with toys. Some apologists play along naively taking him at his word. Others seek to give his method the currently acceptable artistic cachet by grouping it with that of practitioners of goofy postmodernist theatrics." Eugenia Parry. St. Ann's Press hardcover books

1923Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original wrappers. Cr. 8vo. (19,5 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 14 p. First and only Turkish edition of this important, rare, and the first work on eugenics in Turkey in book form, translated by Balaban from English, from a lecture Pearson gave at Oxford University, including the idea of the human race can be grown more perfectly in the future as well as the species of animals and plants. Balaban indicated in his preface of the work that Eugenism is discussed in the western world under the leadership of Sir Francis Galton (1822-1911), and it should be progressed in Turkey as well. Especially in this period when epidemics are common, the book emphasizes how important it is to combat these diseases. Mustafa Rahmi Balaban (1888-1953), tried to spread the principles and methods of modern pedagogy and contribute to the training of teachers in that period when the number of modern education and training institutions and the number of books and teachers is extremely low since 1923, when he was appointed as a member of the Turkish Ministry of Education, Copyright and Translation Committee, as a well-trained educator. He wrote about eighty copyrighted and translated works in fields such as pedagogy, philosophy, ethics, Turkish language, children's literature, civilization, and cultural history, and more than sixty of them were published. "Karl [Carl] Pearson (1857-1936) was a biometrician who became the first Galton Chair of Eugenics at University College London, where he also taught as a professor of applied mathematics and mechanics (Porter, 2013). He is remembered for being a founder of modern statistics (Porter, 2013). Pearson published the book, The Grammar of Science in 1892, which prompted him to emphasize the importance of data and statistics in biological and social sciences (Porter, 2013). These beliefs influenced Pearson's thoughts on natural selection and turned him towards eugenics (Porter, 2013). Pearson also helped found the first journal dealing with modern statistics, Biometrika with Sir Francis Galton, and Walter F. R. Weldon (Porter, 2013). Pearson was fascinated with heredity and statistics (Paul & Moore, 2010). He launched various studies on the differences in eye color, fertility, and longevity (Paul & Moore, 2010). Although he was influenced by Galton, his eugenic views were much harsher. For instance, he believed that "superior and inferior races cannot coexist; if the former is to make effective use of global resources; the latter must be extirpated" (Pearson, 1901, as cited in Paul & Moore, 2010, p. 39)."

rif. 144231Very Good. Duodecimo 4 pages on 2 conjugate leaves Hampstead 29 March 1899. Folded for posting; a few light smudges; paper a little unevenly tanned; in very good condition. The letter addressed to a Dr Williams begins with a declaration: 'I hasten to say that I personally am not a believer in telegony' a theory of heredity claiming that offspring can inherit the characteristics of a previous mate of the female parent. He corrects a misunderstanding that may have arisen from something he said regarding dog and horse breeders; 'It is also attested of negresses that have born to a white man that they will bear afterwards partially white children to a black man. some years ago I investigated the matter by testing for some five hundred pairs of sons & daughters whether the younger were more like the Father than the Mother but I could find no trace of it. Francis Galton at the discussion which followed the paper spoke of telegony as a superstition and Lankester Poulton & others had nothing to say in favour of it'. He refers to Charles Darwin's account in '"Origin of Species" . of Lord Morton's quagga' and notes that Ewart has been trying to repeat the experiment without success. 'I should say that telegony like the inheritance of acquired characters may have an element of truth in it but all the arguments in favour of it so far deduced are from the scientific standpoint worthless. It is a widespread superstition'. Karl Pearson 'has been credited with establishing the discipline of mathematical statistics. He founded the world's first university statistics department at University College London in 1911 and contributed significantly to the field of biometrics and meteorology. Pearson was also a proponent of Social Darwinism and eugenics and his thought is an example of what is today described as scientific racism' Wikipedia. He was the first Galton Professor of Eugenics holding the chair from 1911 to 1933. unknown
