Westport (CT), Praeger, 2001. First edition, first priting. A groundbreaking book by British psychologist Richard Lynn (1930-2023), specialist of IQ and psychometry, who authored a number of books and articles about intelligence differences and heritability. His "Eugenics: A Reassessment" was the first of the series. Dispassionately, with a surprising absence of self-censorship, Lynn takes the eugenics science where it had been demonized after the Second World War and argues, from an updated point of view, that its ideas on heredity and aims were mostly correct. The book has become quite scarce, almost a cult title in certain circles, and is now a tough find, especially in first printing. Wine cloth hardcover book, bound by Praeger. Black title pieces on the center of the cover and on the spine. Bradel-style hinges, headbands. Wide octavo, 16 x 24 cm, (ix) 367 pp. Bibliography and index at the end of the book. 21 chapters in 4 parts: The General Theory of Eugenics (Preface); Sir Francis Galton Lays the Foundations of Eugenics; The Rise and Fall of Eugenics; Historical Formulations; Genetic Diseases and Disorders; Mental Illness; Intelligence; Mental Retardation; Personality; Psychopathic Personality; The Genetic Foundations of Eugenics; The Genetic Principles of Selection; Negative Eugenics: Provision of Information and Services; Negative Eugenics: Incentives, Coercion, and Compulsion; Licenses for Parenthood; Positive Eugenics; The Ethical Principles of Classical Eugenics; Developments in Human Biotechnology; Ethical Issues in Human Biotechnology; The Future of Eugenics in Democratic Societies; The Future of Eugenics in Authoritarian States; The Evolution of the Eugenic World State.
A subtle bump at the top right corner of the cover and on the top and bottom of the spine. The paper is clean. Please note that many parts of the text have been underlined with a black pen, though this doesn't impede reading at all. A good copy of a scarce book, which embodies courage and autonomy in scientific thinking.
