{"product_id":"fighting-for-the-good-cause-gerald-sweeney-9780871699121","title":"Fighting for the Good Cause: Reflections on Francis Galton's Legacy to American Hereditarian Psychology Transactions, American Philosophical Society (","description":"Sir Francis Galton was an influential mentor for the educational psychologists who supplied crucial doctrine to American eugenics from 1903 to 1930. Yet the nature of his influence has never been specified. The psychologists' own claim as to the Galton's contribution -- that he provided sufficient justification for their absolutist hereditarianism -- was clearly disingenuous. Rather, he appears to have functioned as a model for these figures, who were informed by their perceptions of Galton's ulterior purposes in constructing eugenics as he did. Any of various features in the 45-year-long course of that development could have encouraged these particular legatees to appreciate both Galton and his product as surreptitious stanchers of democracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerald Sweeney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0871699125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780871699121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e American Philosophical Society Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2002 pg. 8","brand":"Gerald Sweeney","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48438031483135,"sku":"9780871699121","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9f75b04f-5a8f-4257-a53e-ac5d805be6d5.jpg?v=1777168335","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fighting-for-the-good-cause-gerald-sweeney-9780871699121","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
