This book aims to be neither the first word on the tangled problems of human society to-day, nor the last. My aim has been to emphasize, by the use of concrete and challenging examples and neglected facts, the need of a new approach to individual and social problems. Its central challenge is that civilization, in any true sense of the word, is based upon the control and guidance of the great natural instinct of Sex.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Vital reading for Americans,
This review is from: The Pivot of Civilization (Paperback)
This is a valid reprint of THE pivotal book written by the eugenicist founder of the Birth Control League - renamed Planned Parenthood when the world found out what her elitist-racist thinking came to in Germany in WWII. Every human being in the country and the world really should know exactly what that crackpot's plans for reengineering humanity meant, and what her followerd are intent on, even as you read this.

An eugenics' book,
By Dalton C. Rocha (Fortaleza, CE, Brazil.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Pivot of Civilization (Paperback)
I read this trash-book, here in Brazil.It is available, for free reading on many internet sites.This bad book was writen, on 1920 decade, on a time when nazism, fascism and communism were on the newspapers.And this bad book has nothing against communism, fascism and nazism.This book claims that menaces to the "future" were the negros, the poors and the sicks.Please, this book is ridiculous, racist, eugenicist and bigoted.The ony value on reading this book is to see how bigoted, racists and eugenicists were american riches in 1920 decade.
