This textbook does not deal with eugenics in statistics and psychology in any substantive way. This a major flaw that needs to be corrected considering that major figures in the textbook (Galton, Pearson, Fisher), are major players in eugenics. I'm bringing this flaw up to myself as a major issue that I need to come back and address.

I made a branch to make edits. I'm happy that the book compiles, haven't tried in a while. My plan so far is fairly minimal, but I will expand as I figure out how to.
Add a new couple paragraphs to the introduction of chapter 1 to raise the issue, that discuss how it is important to contextual stats and psych within its historical, scientific and social context, in particular from the lens of eugenics. Prepare readers that the book will go into the eugenics issues a little bit here and there
My main plan for additional revision is to bring up eugenics chronologically, when discussing Galton, Pearson, and Fisher. With each an aim is put their statistics within the context of their eugenic goals.
Create an appendix with an extended reading list about eugenics for the interested reader.
