Recenzii
'Amir Teicher's wide-ranging and provocative history of Mendelism in the German-speaking world will bust the myth that it was Darwinian selectionism alone that provided scientific justifications for right-wing ideologies of racial purification.' Staffan Müller-Wille, University of Cambridge
'Amir Teicher's lucid study demonstrates that, similar to the way in which Darwin's work gave rise to Social Darwinism, the research method based on Gregor Mendel's experiments became transformed into a general interpretive framework - which Teicher calls 'Social Mendelism' - that exerted a powerful influence on the German biosciences in the first half of the twentieth century.' Richard F. Wetzell, German Historical Institute Washington
'Revelatory.' Gregory Radick, Times Literary Supplement
'This ambitious and thoroughly researched book seeks to achieve nothing less than a major rethink of the intellectual background to Nazism.' Dan Stone, German Studies Review
