A propos de cet article

xv 350 pages. A clean, unmarked and solid copy. "Victor Hugo Wallace (1893-1977), medical practitioner, eugenicist and sexologist, was born on 17 November 1893 at Boorhaman, Victoria.Wallace was a founding member (1936) of the Eugenics Society of Victoria and was to serve as the association's honorary secretary until its activities ceased in 1961.In 1940 Wallace and a small group of sympathizers formed the Social Hygiene Society, with the aim of starting a clinic dispensing 'scientific instruction on matters pertaining to marital relations'. With funding from Janie Butler, a philanthropist and eugenicist, the society quietly opened a clinic in Collins Street in February 1941. The facility provided patients with rubber pessaries and spermicidal jelly. As World War II continued, supplies of rubber dwindled. The clinic was obliged to close in September 1942 because pessaries had become unobtainable.Wallace's book, Women and Children First (1946), outlined a population policy for Australia. A survey of 530 of his patients had revealed eighteen major reasons why people were practising family planning. Financial, psychological, marital and health-related factors all played a part. To increase the birth rate, Wallace recommended marriage loans, larger maternity allowances and child endowment payments, birth-control clinics (in the interests of maternal health), crèches, free education, liberalized divorce laws, and marriage guidance counselling."

Description de la boutique

Good Reading was established in 1991. In early 2013, I downsized from a shop which spanned a block and two stories to a largish house which resembles a rabbit warren. There are at approximately 40,000 titles, including over 10,000 books in Italian, French, German, Modern Greek, Latin and classical Greek., most of which have not yet been catalogued. I also have a very large Theology section, and a substantial cookery and Australian History one. Please contact me if there is a specific title you are chasing as it may be languishing on the shelf uncatalogued. All enquiries will be answered promptly, books will be mailed out swaddled like Russian babies, and all faults honestly described. I do a full refund for any book sporting nasty surprises.…
