X-Message-Number: 18419 Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2002 18:10:19 -0800 From: Dave Shipman <> Subject: It's Getting Better All the Time Cryonet friends, I highly recommend to anyone who doesn't already know it, the excellent book, "It's Getting Better All the Time: 100 Greatest Trends of the Last 100 Years" by Stephen Moore and Julian Simon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1882577973/103-7694953-7884668). The layout of the book has each trend on two facing pages. The right-hand page has graphs and charts illustrating the trend, and the left-hand page has a discussion of the trend. The Amazon site includes sample pages and an index so you can see what the book is all about. Clearly documented are constant and ongoing improvements in life expectancy, health, housing, food production, air quality, economic equality, the arts, culture, and on and on. I love this book. -- Dave Shipman Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=18419
