About this title

Synopsis

""The Science And Philosophy Of Eugenics: A Sure Foundation Upon Which To Build A Pure And Happy Home"" is a book written by Ellis Benjamin Guild in 1920. The book explores the concept of eugenics, which is the study of improving the genetic quality of humans through selective breeding and sterilization. Guild argues that eugenics is necessary for building a pure and happy home, as it ensures that only the best traits are passed down to future generations. The book covers a range of topics, including the history of eugenics, the science behind it, and its philosophical implications. Guild also discusses the practical applications of eugenics, such as improving public health and reducing crime rates. While eugenics has since been discredited as a pseudoscience and a tool for promoting racism and ableism, this book provides insight into the attitudes and beliefs of the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
