1938réf. 588(English description below.) New York, Pioneer Publishing, 1938. Petit in-8 de 13 x 20 cm, (xiv) 574 pp. Reliure plein tissu percaliné d'un rouge pastel foncé, titre embossé au plat de couverture, titre et nom d'auteur en caractères d'argent au dos, filets doubles argentés en coiffe et queue. Reliures à la Bradel, très mince tranchefile. Préface du chirurgien-urologue Winfield S. Pugh. En 10 chapitres, richement illustrés de dessins en noir et blanc. En dépit de son titre, Eugenics and Sex Harmony insiste en fait sur l'éducation sexuelle, les rencontres hommes-femmes, la compatibilité des partenaires, les MST, la nutrition, les fameuses migraines... Le ton général est nettement plus enjoué que celui du reste de notre catalogue Eugénisme. En filigrane, une division claire entre littérature de spécialiste, technique, et livres destinés à un lectorat plus large. Le terme d'"eugénique" mêlait alors l'acquis, les conditions sociales ou matérielles d'une "bonne naissance" favorable à la santé de l'enfant et de sa mère, à l'hérédité, sans acrimonie particulière ou tabou autour de la question dite "nature versus nurture". Eugenics and Sex Harmony sera réédité plusieurs fois et reste presque courant sur le marché américain. ****** New York, Pioneer Publishing, 1938. New edition. Small octavo (13 x 20 cm), (xiv) 574 pp. Bound in full dark pastel-red percaline cloth; title embossed on the front cover; title and author's name in silver lettering on the spine; double silver fillets at the head and tail of the spine. Bradel-style binding; very thin headbands. Preface by urological surgeon Winfield S. Pugh. The book comprises 10 chapters, richly illustrated with black-and-white drawings. Despite its title, the book actually focuses primarily on sex education, male-female encounters, partner compatibility, STDs, nutrition, and common ailments like migraines—incorporating numerous cultural and historical elements that clearly mark it as a work of popularization and advice. The general tone is more lighthearted than that of the rest of our "Eugenics" catalog, reflecting a clear distinction between specialized technical literature and books aimed at a broader audience. It illustrates how the term "eugenics" at the time conflated acquired factors—such as the social or material conditions conducive to a "good birth" and the health of both child and mother—with heredity, all without the acrimony or taboos often associated with the "nature versus nurture" debate. *Eugenics and Sex Harmony* was reprinted several times and remains relatively common on the American market.
