  • The Unfit

    PAULINE M H MAZUMDARARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2003

    E. A. Carlson is an American geneticist who is probably best known for his historical writing. His book The Gene: A Critical History (1966) was one of the first history of science books I read, and one that helped me to decide on my personal change of career from medicine to history.

    The historians of the chemical sciences are a very feisty lot. Their reviews of each other's work are tough and outspoken. "By failing to recognise that the 'colonisation' of biology by technique was not merely technical but philosophical, Abir-Am fails to recognise the incompatibility of the Needham . . . programme with the (Rockefeller) Foundation's policy," said one in 1984. 1 "Why would anyone wish to revive Olby's book at a time when studies…

  • The Problem of Mental Deficiency

    PAULINE M H MAZUMDARARTICLEBulletin of the history of medicine2000

    This is a densely woven and argumentative book, which shakes the kaleidoscope of knowledge to present new contexts for some familiar events and ideologies. It is an account of the eugenics movement that gives more space to the context within which eugenics existed than to the movement itself
