Overview
This book considers Galton's influence in the field of psychological eugenics. It describes his evidence, biographical factors shaping his views, the political context in which he worked, his ideological aims, and the use that others made of his work. Sweeney seems to have very little concern for the merits of Galton's views, or of those he inspired, focusing instead on the man as a figure in intellectual history.Annotation © Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
