A Life of Sir Francis Galton: From African Exploration to the Birth of Eugenics [Book Review].
Deary, Ian J.
Intelligence, v30 n5 p481-82 2002
This biography explores the many scientific interests and contributions of Francis Galton and outlines his psychological studies as a "detour" from his major works that lasted from 1877 to 1885. Galton's interest in heredity was a focus of the second half of his life, the first having concentrated on geography and exploration. (SLD)
