Description: Excellent pre-owned condition Hardcover Interesting and unusual book. The Varieties of Human Physique: An Introduction to Constitutional Psychology by W.H. Sheldon. Published by Harper & Brothers Publishers in 1940. Sheldon's theory was that body type corresponds with personality and delinquency. In The Varieties of Human Physique, the first of three books he wrote describing the classification system of body types and associated psychological traits, Sheldon illustrates and defines male body types. The book contains over 200 photos of men, with faces and genitals covered, from a study that included 4,000 college age men. In The Varieties of Human Physique Sheldon uses the selected photos to illustrate the classification system he developed in an effort at "standardizing a method for describing quantitatively the varying physical endowments of individuals."
