In the 'conclusions' the words 'child' and 'children' are used repeatedly, and facing the conclusions are tables giving the ages Of the children considered references to the ages Of the children occur frequently in the text, and on p. 6 the average ages of the sons Of drinking and non-drinking parents are actually stated as 9-8 and 9-4 years respectively.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is an insightful exploration of the heated debate that followed the publication of a study on the impact of parental alcoholism on the health and intelligence of children. The author, a renowned scientist, had asserted that excessive drinking by parents could have adverse effects on their offspring, triggering a storm of criticism from the medical community. However, the author meticulously dissects the arguments of his detractors, exposing misinterpretations and statistical fallacies in their claims. Through a rigorous examination of the original study's data, the author reveals the validity of the initial findings and underscores the importance of understanding the potential hazards of parental alcohol consumption. This book is not only a testament to the resilience of scientific inquiry in the face of adversity, but also a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intricate relationship between parental behavior and child development.
