Homo-Culture; Or, The Improvement of Offspring Through Wiser Generation
M. L. Holbrook
Improvement of offspring through wiser generation: Martin Holbrook's 1897 subtitle announces a program blending heredity theory, prenatal culture and health reform, including a lecture delivered to the Brooklyn Ethical Association. It preserves the optimistic, prescriptive voice of nineteenth-century hereditarian thought before its darker turn. A period document for readers tracing where such ideas led. History, kept honest by hindsight.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
