Description
“Beware Euphoria” uncovers the roots of America's moral obsession with drug regulation, offering a lively and fascinating history of the nation's racialized fear of intoxication. Challenging the idea that early antidrug laws in the United States arose from racial animus, George Fisher instead shows in textured detail how United States drug laws were driven by a deep-seated cultural taboo against euphoria and a preoccupation with white moral integrity.

Description
In this 1893 treatise Fisher, one of the most popular theological writers of his day, argues that the theory of evolution strengthens rather than weakens arguments for design. He turns a keen eye on topics as diverse as the origin of religion, free will, and the complexity of the human eye and ear as evidence for design.
