The Pivot of Civilization in Historical

Today's heated debates over social issues such as abortion, birth control, ethnicity, immigration, race, religion, sexual behavior and welfare did not begin in the 1960s. They began in the last years of the nineteenth century and reached their zenith in the 1920s, when this book sold over 200,000 copies
