This 1999 book was the first full-scale interpretation of the life and work of the major American neuropsychologist Karl Lashley. The book explodes the myth of Lashley's neuropsychology as a fact-driven, 'pure' science by arguing that a belief in the power of heredity and a nativist and deeply conservative racial ideology informed every aspect of his theory and practice.
