Explore the origins and questions of Eugenics, a field that links heredity, environment, and social policy.
This accessible introduction surveys what eugenics studies and why it matters for society. It traces ideas from pioneer Francis Galton to their reception in modern questions about birth rates, population, and human potential. The book explains how heredity and environment are seen to shape the race, and why data, statistics, and social conditions matter for future generations.

- How heredity and environment are viewed as forces in shaping society
- How birth rates, employment of women, and population trends influence the future
