Is Progress Speeding Up: Multiplying Multitudes of Blessings (First Edition, First)

This book is a handbook for optimists. It is a thought-provoking documentation of the progress of the condition of human beings in the last century. In spite of the constant negative reports we hear, people are, in fact, better fed, better clothed, better housed, and better educated than at any previous time in history. The author draws from a wide variety of sources to support this optimism. The book covers such aspects of modern life as our health, living standards, political and economic freedoms, educational facilities, communications, increased leisure, and our ability to get along with one another and our Creator.
