Sobre IBD

Grant (1865-1937) was an American lawyer, writer, and zoologist known primarily for his work as a eugenicist/racist and as a conservationist, being one of the leading thinkers and activists of the Progressive Era. He was responsible for one of the most notorious works of scientific racism, The Passing of the Great Race (1916), and played an active role in crafting strong immigration restriction and anti-miscegenation laws in the US. As a conservationist, he is credited with saving many species of animals, founding numerous environmental and philanthropic organizations and developing much of the discipline of wildlife management. This work first published in 1933 is illustrated with 14 maps and includes an introduction by Henry Fairfield Osborn (1857-1935), the paleontologist and geologist who was president of the American Museum of Natural History for 25 years, of which Grant was a trustee. 3
