Unequal Gains offers a radically new understanding of the economic evolution of the United States, providing a complete picture of the uneven progress of America from colonial times to today.

While other economic historians base their accounts on American wealth, Peter Lindert and Jeffrey Williamson focus instead on income--and the result is a bold reassessment of the American economic experience. America has been exceptional in its rising inequality after an egalitarian start, but not in its long-run growth.

America had already achieved world income leadership by 1700, not just in the twentieth century as is commonly thought. Long before independence, American colonists enjoyed higher living standards than Britain--and America's income advantage today is no greater than it was three hundred years ago. But that advantage was lost during the Revolution, lost again during the Civil War, and lost a third time during the Great Depression, though it was regained after each crisis. In addition, Lindert and Williamson show how income inequality among Americans rose steeply in two great waves--from 1774 to 1860 and from the 1970s to today--rising more than in any other wealthy nation in the world.Unequal Gains also demonstrates how the widening income gaps have always touched every social group, from the richest to the poorest. The book sheds critical light on the forces that shaped American income history, and situates that history in a broad global context.

Economic writing at its most stimulating, Unequal Gains provides a vitally needed perspective on who has benefited most from American growth, and why.

The classic art updated for the contemporary crafter with clear techniques and projects, and 300 photographs.

These radiant images from the renowned 19th-century biologist and illustrator Ernst Haeckel, featuring marine microorganisms, will enthrall fans of his previous collections and garner renewed attention for Haeckel's unparalleled artistry. From jewelry designers to scientists, graphic artists to naturalists, the range of people inspired by Ernst Haeckel's illustrations continues to grow. Following up on Prestel's books Art Forms in Nature and Art Forms from the Ocean, this new collection features startlingly beautiful images created by Haeckel for the report of the HMS Challenger expedition, which circumnavigated the world from 1872-76, discovering
and cataloging nearly 5,000 new species from the depths of
Earth's oceans. Full-page reproductions bring these organisms
colorfully to life, drawing readers into a world at once
hypnotic and highly ordered. Divided into three sections--
Siphonophores, Medusae, and Radiolarians--these illustrations
display Haeckel's remarkable artistic skill and understanding of
the architecture of organic matter. The authors provide a brief
history of the Challenger expedition, background on Haeckel's
scientific and artistic accomplishments, as well as informative
texts on each group of organisms. A guide to the natural world
and an inspiration to artists of every stripe, this collection of
Haeckel's work is a fitting tribute to a 19th-century genius.

Humans have creative minds and our best way forward is to direct our speech and imagination towards the positive. When we begin to be aware that our mind-energy is creative, and that we can control what we think and imagine, we then begin to realise that we can use our individual mind-power to express more good and love in our lives.

Your mind is a creature of habit and likes established patterns. Your mental habits control or dictate your personality and life-style, so it is important that you have a positive and successful view of yourself and your life-style.

In this almost step by step instruction manual the author gives practical advice on how to eliminate negative thoughts and attitudes and replace them with positivity and love.
