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.
