Bøker av Karl Pearson

Walter Frank Raphael Weldon (1860-1906) was a British evolutionary biologist and a founder of biometry, together with the highly influential journal Biometrika. Originally published in 1906, and written by fellow Biometrika founder Karl Pearson (1857-1936), this volume was created as a memorial for Weldon and his achievements.

Written by his colleague Karl Pearson, this four-part biography of eugenicist Sir Francis Galton presents a detailed account of the life of the controversial scientist. First published in 1914, Volume 1 covers the years from Galton's birth in 1822 to his marriage to Louisa Jane Butler in 1853.
