Selden is a genius.
I recently picked up Selden's book in the
local mall. I planned to only skim through it. However, I was left stunned
with the introduction and had no choice but to purchase the book. In fact,
I read the entire book in one nights time. Selden's story of Eugenics in
America is amazing. He is a true scholar and story teller, a gleeman of
the modern age. Highly recommend this book to students of all majors.
