Editors Witkowski, executive director of the Banbury Conference Center of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and Inglis, executive director of the center's Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, provide a collection of essays on the pioneering work of influential geneticist Charles Davenport. In the collection, prominent academics discuss themes from Davenport's History in Relation to Eugenics, originally published in 1911 and used as a college text and as the foundation for the eugenics movement in the United States. Topics include human genetic variation, mental illness, nature vs. nurture, and human evolution in a modern context. A facsimile of Davenport's original work is included. The book will interest science historians and others interested in the social implications of human genetics research. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
