Description 1 online resource (x, 245 pages) : illustrations Series Studies in modern science, technology, and the environment Studies in modern science, technology, and the environment. Contents pt. 1. Constructing heredity -- pt. 2. Reform eugenics Summary In the early twentieth century, arguments between "nature" and "nurture" pitted a rigid genetic determinism against the idea that genes were flexible and open to environmental change. This book tells the story of three Viennese biologists who sought to show how the environment could shape heredity through the impact of hormones and explores the dynamic of failure in science through both scientific and social lenses Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes English Print version record Subject Kammerer, Paul, 1880-1926.
