was...The Passing of the Great Race, or, The racial basis of European history...This was an influential book of scientific racism and " here comes

The book put forward Grant's theory of "Nordic superiority" and argued for a strong eugenics program in order to save the waning "Nordics" from
inundation of other race types. (source Wikipedia )
