Jukes-Edwards: A Study In Education And Heredity (1900)

Jukes-Edwards: A Study In Education And Heredity is a book written by Albert Edward Winship and originally published in 1900. The book is a study of two families, the Jukes and the Edwards, who were both known for their criminal behavior and poverty. Winship examines the family histories of both families and explores the role that education and heredity played in their lives.The Jukes family was known for their criminal behavior and poverty, with many members of the family being involved in theft, prostitution, and other illegal activities. The Edwards family, on the other hand, was known for their hard work and success, with many members of the family becoming successful businessmen and professionals.Through his research, Winship argues that education can play a significant role in breaking the cycle of poverty and criminal behavior in families like the Jukes. He also explores the role that heredity plays in shaping a person's behavior and argues that while genetics may play a role, environmental factors such as education and upbringing are equally important.Overall, Jukes-Edwards: A Study In Education And Heredity is a fascinating look at the intersection of education and heredity in shaping human behavior. It remains a relevant and important book for anyone interested in understanding the roots of poverty and crime in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
