Quicksand has captivated human imagination for centuries. The very mention of the word conjures images of perilous, sinking terrain—an unpredictable force of nature that can drag the unsuspecting into its depths. Whether through its portrayal in popular culture or through whispered warnings of its presence in remote areas, quicksand has become synonymous with danger. However, while it holds a certain allure in our collective consciousness, the science behind it remains less understood, adding to its mystique and intrigue. Historically, quicksand has been a feature of many adventure tales and thrillers, often depicted as a life-threatening trap that can ensnare anyone who ventures too close. In movies, books, and TV shows, it serves as an almost mythical obstacle, a place where time seems to stand still as one struggles to escape. These portrayals, however, often exaggerate the severity of quicksand’s danger, leading to misconceptions about its true nature. It’s important to acknowledge that while quicksand is indeed dangerous, it is rarely as deadly as it is made out to be in stories. Yet, the fascination it generates is undeniable, and its mysterious qualities continue to inspire both fear and curiosity. The allure of quicksand is not just in its danger, but also in the mystery surrounding its behavior. Unlike ordinary land, quicksand behaves in a way that seems to defy common understanding. Its unique blend of sand, water, and clay creates a substance that can feel deceptively solid, only to give way under pressure. This paradox—the appearance of solid ground hiding a treacherous, fluid-like trap—adds to its power to intrigue and intimidate.Mostra libro
“Porter has unearthed a radically new history of human genetics, one that evokes not the double helix but the humble filing cabinet.” —Emily M. Kern, ScienceIn the early 1800s, a century before there was any concept of the gene, physicians in insane asylums began to record causes of madness in their admission books. Almost from the beginning, they pointed to heredity as the most important of these causes. As doctors and state officials steadily lost faith in the capacity of asylum care to stem the terrible increase of insanity, they began emphasizing the need to curb the reproduction of the insane. They became obsessed with identifying weak or tainted families and anticipating the outcomes of their marriages. Genetics in the Madhouse is the untold story of how the collection and sorting of hereditary data in mental hospitals, schools for “feebleminded” children, and prisons gave rise to a new science of human heredity.In this compelling book, Theodore Porter draws on untapped archival evidence from across Europe and North America to bring to light the hidden history behind modern genetics. He looks at the institutional use of pedigree charts, censuses of mental illness, medical-social surveys, and other data techniques—innovative quantitative practices that were worked out in the madhouse long before the manipulation of DNA became possible in the lab. Porter argues that asylum doctors developed many of the ideologies and methods of what would come to be known as eugenics, and deepens our appreciation of the moral issues at stake in data work conducted on the border of subjectivity and science.Mostra libro
