Publication Date: 01/09/1992
Winner of the 1956 Nobel Prize as leader of the team that invented of the transistor, Professor William Shockley of Stanford University was also a scientific researcher in the fields of intelligence and genetics. Contents include a lengthy preface by renowned Berkeley psychologist Professor Arthur Jensen as well as an introduction by Roger Pearson; an account of Shockley's life history; and a series of Shockley's own papers including his suggestion that the U.S. might consider offering a cash bonus to any younger persons of low IQ who voluntarily agreed to sterilization. This "thinking exercise" suggested that volunteers might be offered a pecuniary award directly related to the extent to which their IQ fell below 100. This and twenty-two of Shockley's original articles on heredity, eugenics, and dysgenic trends in the U.S. ¿ no longer available elsewhere ¿ are reprinted in this remarkable volume.SB. 300 pages.
