Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The years between 1870 and 1910 were filled with dramatic social, political and economic changes in the United States. In response, public discourse of the 'Gilded Age' often drew on the tenets of Social Darwinism. The application of oversimplified Darwinian principles to social issues exerted a powerful influence on the discourse of the era. While the principles were used to support arguments for social changes that envisioned a gradual evolution of a species toward greater perfection, such as women's suffrage, they were also used to oppress African Americans, who were not, it was thought by many in powerful positions, as highly 'evolved' as white Americans. The ideas of social Darwinism accorded well with American beliefs that were derived from Puritanism, especially the idea that anyone could enjoy economic success if only she or he worked hard enough. This volume explores how that theme permeated public advocacy during the Gilded Age.…

Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. 1st Edition. U.S. Government Printing Office, U.S. Congress House of Representatives, Washington, DC. 1970. 114 pages. Wraps. First edition, first printing of the First Report on Marijuana; a study on its effect (and criminality) presented to the 91st Congress, and members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Congress called on Yale experts to testify on the dangers of the plant; some fifty years before they could disregard its findings in lieu of tax dollars. Book is about fine with one small textural scuff on rear. This testimony is a thoroughly enjoyable read, if for no other reason than the out-of-touch sensibilities of elected officials then, or the latent hypocrisy of modern-day ones. Near fine; rare. First report, first edition.…
