The Improving State of the World
The subtitle is Why We’re Living Longer, Healthier, More Comfortable Lives on a Cleaner Planet, and it is written by Indur M. Goklany. Imagine an up-to-date version of Aaron Wildavsky and Julian Simon, in easily digestible form. On global warming, it won’t make Tim Lambert happy, but it not "denialist" either. A useful resource, recommended. Here is the book’s home page. Here are papers by Goklany.
