Excerpt from The Feebly Inhibited, Nomadism, or the Wandering Impulse: With Special Reference to Heredity Inheritance of Temperament
The two studies included in the present volume are the second and third, respectively, of a series of studies on the Feebly Inhibited. The first (on Violent Temper and its Inheritance) was published in the Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases for September 1915. These studies - of which two are in preparation - are principally the outcome of the analysis of a large amount of data collected by trained "eugenics field-workers" acting in connection with various State institutions, and above all with those for wayward girls. Acknowledgment is due to those superintendents and to the field-workers who have co-operated in the study. The following institutions paid part of the expense of collecting the data:
1. State Industrial School for Girls, Lancaster, Massachusetts; Mrs. Amy F. Everall, Superintendent; Mrs. G. W. Hathaway and Dr. Wilhelmine E. Key, field-workers.
2. New Jersey State Home for Girls, Trenton, New Jersey; Mrs. Elizabeth V. H. Mansell, Superintendent; Miss Z. E. Udell, field-worker.
3. New Jersey State Village for Epileptics; Dr. David F. Weeks, Superintendent; Mrs. D. L. F.Woodward and Miss Sadie C. Devitt, field-workers.
4. New Jersey Home for Feeble-minded Women; Dr. Madeline Hallowell, Superintendent; Miss Helen T. Reeves, field-worker.
5. The Glen Mills (Pennsylvania) Schools, Girls' Department; Miss Martha P. Falconer, Superintendent; Miss Ruth Wanger, field-worker.
The cost of training the field-workers was met by Mrs. E. H. Harriman, founder and principal patron of the Eugenics Record Office, and Mr. John D. Rockefeller, who paid also the salaries of many of the field-workers. This generous assistance is gratefully acknowledged.
A word may be said as to the term "feebly inhibited" used in these studies. It was selected as a fit term to stand as co-ordinate w…

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive study of the nomadic, or wandering, impulse and its genetic basis, drawing on case studies to explore the origins and characteristics of nomadism across societies and throughout history. The author, a leading expert in genetics, presents evidence suggesting that nomadism is a heritable trait linked to the absence of a gene for domesticity. The book examines the relationship between the nomadic impulse and a variety of psychological phenomena, including depression, epilepsy, and hysteria, and discusses the ways in which these conditions can either suppress or amplify the nomadic tendency. Through a series of detailed family histories, the author illustrates the different ways in which nomadism manifests itself, and traces its inheritance patterns across generations. By combining genetic analysis with anthropological and historical perspectives, this book offers a unique and in-depth exploration of the nomadic impulse, providing new insights into its biological and cultural significance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781330354995_0
