Practical Eugenics - William Robinson Josephus

Practical Eugenics: Four Means Of Improving The Human Race is a book written by William Josephus Robinson in 1912. This book explores the concept of eugenics, which is the study of improving the genetic quality of the human population. Robinson presents four methods of improving the human race: positive eugenics, negative eugenics, euthenics, and euthanasia. Positive eugenics involves encouraging the reproduction of individuals with desirable traits, while negative eugenics involves preventing the reproduction of individuals with undesirable traits. Euthenics focuses on improving the environment to promote better physical and mental health, while euthanasia involves the intentional ending of a life to prevent the transmission of undesirable traits. Robinson argues that eugenics is essential for the progress of humanity and provides practical solutions for implementing eugenic policies. However, the book has been criticized for promoting discriminatory and unethical practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
