For a synopsis and review of the first two books in the further reading section seehttp://www.jstor.org/pss/4524766. The review is quite useful for summarizing Osborn's legacy, I think.Tijfo098 (talk)23:51, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I see that editors have been looking up other books that mention the life and career of Henry Fairfield Osborn since I added one book as a further reading reference to this article. (My occasion for adding the book reference to several articles was that it extensively mentioned the article topics, with good sourcing, and my occasion for adding the booktoday was that it was due today at one library. I'll receive another copy of the book, which is well worth reading, from another library on Monday.) It's good to see that a constructive response to one editor adding a reference to an article is that other editors begin adding references to the article. Finding references is good, and I look forward to looking up some of the other references and discussing with editors what the references say and how to improve the article text as further reading sources turn into footnote sources for articles. --WeijiBaikeBianji (talk,how I edit)23:52, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The following statement "Biographer Ronald Rainger has described Osborn as "a first-rate science administrator and a third-rate scientist." links to Rainger's book,An Agenda for Antiquity, as a quote source. Although the sentiment is correct, I cannot find that as a quote in the book itself. Can someone else try to verify this statement and a source for the quote.2001:8003:70D3:7A00:18A4:2F35:3FEC:E87A (talk)10:52, 2 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
"Osborn, who cofounded the American Eugenics Society in 1922," links to a Washington Post article from 2020 — in this case a tertiary source. Surely scholarly sources such as Regal or Rainger provide documented evidence of this fact?Terraplane34 (talk)05:53, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Twenty Years After is cited for Osborn's academic record, eugenic views, and the views of a large section of society. The book can be foundhere - and does not even mention Osborn. It is possible that a version with more bulletins may exist - the page numbering of the first bulletin (1-23) is separate from the main pagination, otherwise I can make no sense of the page number 72.
