Book SynopsisTrade Review"For those unable to devote the time to reading The Bourgeois Virtues, Bourgeois Dignity, and Bourgeois Equality, McCloskey has teamed here with Carden to write a popular version. While the argument is the same—namely that respect for human liberty is what led to the Great Enrichment—this book is not a Reader’s Digest condensed version of the trilogy. Carden and McCloskey use this opportunity to make the ideas of the trilogy more contemporary. They do so in two ways. Current policy proposals, such as Senator Elizabeth Warren’s proposal for a 2 percent tax on the wealthy, are used where appropriate. Modern examples, from changes to the television set as owned by the TV Simpsons family to a long list of failed business ideas that wasted resources, such as the New Coke or Trump Airlines, are added to the mix alongside McCloskey's literary and historical examples. Even readers of McCloskey's three prior volumes will find much to enjoy in this updated reprise. Recommended." * Choice *“At a time when the mood—and reality—of the times is swinging toward state intervention in the economy—and rightly so, given the potentially Hobbesian world to which the combination of market power and pandemic have brought us—it’s all the more important to keep an open mind and take these arguments from economic liberty seriously. . . . The sweep of McCloskey’s historical knowledge is such that the book is just a good read (if you like the tone), and a fraction of the length of the [Bourgeois] trilogy!” -- Diane Coyle * The Enlightened Economist *"This thought-provoking work is recommended for economics faculty and students, and researchers in economics and history to ‘think differently’ about these respected disciplines.” * Library Journal *"For half a century Deirdre McCloskey has been a member of the starting lineup of economic history. The author of numerous books and hundreds of research papers and essays, her magnum opus is the monumental 'Bourgeois Trilogy' that appeared between 2006 and 2016 and laid out her view of economic history and much else in about 2,000 pages. The slim volume here, co-authored with Art Carden, summarizes her views of what she has termed the 'Great Enrichment' and makes it accessible to a wider public. In every way, this comparatively slim volume is vintage McCloskey: written in a rather informal conversational style, she states her views in her inimitable crystal-clear prose." * EH-Net *"Read this book and learn why you must know the truth, what truth you need to know, and why the freedom it brings has made almost everyone better off than their parents and grandparents." -- Vernon L. Smith, Chapman University and 2002 Nobel Laureate in Economics"If you are feeling down about the state of the world or pessimistic about its prospects then this is the book to cheer you up. McCloskey and Carden show how much off everyone is today compared to everyone who lived before, and how this is explained not by the usual suspects such as institutions, or capitalism or the profits of slavery and colonialism, or the exploitation of natural resources, but simply by the practice of liberty, letting people be and allowing them to do their thing (and, crucially, to innovate). They also show how fashionable pessimism about the future is wrong in all its modish variants—as it has been since 1798. This is a work for economists, historians, and anyone who wants to understand why the world has become so much better for human beings in the last two hundred and fifty years and is set to continue doing so." -- Stephen Davies, Institute of Economic Affairs“There is nobody writing today who mixes erudition and eloquence, or wit and wisdom as richly as McCloskey. Together with Carden, she has now found another virtue: brevity. This is the book I want all young people to read to understand how and why they are so much better off than any previous generation.” -- Matt Ridley, author of How Innovation Works and The Rational OptimistTable of ContentsPreface Part I Poverty Is on the Run 1 Liberalism Liberated 2 It’s the End of the World as They Knew It, and You Should Feel Pretty Good 3 Nostalgia and Pessimism Worsen Poverty 4 Under Liberalism the Formerly Poor Can Flourish Ethically and Spiritually 5 Consider the Possibility That Your Doubts Might Be Mistaken 6 Pessimism Has Been since 1800 a Rotten Predictor 7 Even about the Environment 8 In Fact, None of the Seven Old Pessimisms Makes a Lot of Sense 9 Nor Do the Three New Ones 10 So to Get Better, the World Had Better Keep Its Ethical Wits about It 11 And True Liberalism Celebrates a Life Beyond WealthPart II Enrichment Didn’t Come for the Reasons You Imagine 12 Liberal Ideas, Not European Horrors or Heroism, Explain the Great Enrichment 13 Liberalism Supported Innovism and the Profit Test 14 The Great Enrichment Did Not Come from Resources or Railways or Property Rights 15 Nor Thrift or “Capitalism” 16 Schooling and Science Were Not the Fairy Dust 17 It Wasn’t Imperialism 18 Nor Slavery 19 Nor Wage Slavery Ended by Unions and RegulationPart III It Came Because Ideas, Ethics, Rhetoric, and Ideology Changed 20 The Talk and the Deals Changed in Northwestern Europe 21 That Is, Ethics and Rhetoric Changed 22 “Honest” Shows the Change 23 And “Happiness” Itself Changed 24 The Change in Valuation Showed in English Plays, Poems, and NovelsPart IV The Causes of the Causes Were Not Racial or Ancient 25 Happy Accidents Led to the Revaluation 26 And Then Old Adam Smith Revealed / The Virtues of the Bourgeois Deal Acknowledgments Notes Index

Watson-Guptill Publications Collage Techniques
Book SynopsisOne of many exhilarating artistic developments that took place during the early twentieth century, the fine art medium of collage emerged from the cubist gluing and pasting explorations of Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso. As a result of its experimental genesis, collage has continued to serve not only as a primary form of expression for many prominent artists, but as a principal means of evaluating and developing new creative strategies. Conceived and written by renowned artist, author, and teacher Gerald Brommer, Collage Techniques first presents the medium within the context of a wide variety of materials, including washi (oriental and rice papers) and watermedia; stained, prepared, and found papers; photographs; and fabrics and fibers. Each category of material is examined through a step-by-step demonstration and works by artists who approach collage in original and refreshing ways. The latest trends in technologically enhanced collage, including such high-tech applications as multiple photocopying and digital scanning, are also discussed. The author then explores how the elements and principles of design are used in collage, and how they in turn are employed in all the major genre, including still life, landscape, the human figure, abstraction, and nonobjective imagery. Beautifully illustrated with the work of more than eighty noted artists, including Edward Betts, Jae Carmichael, Margo Hoff, Katherine Chang Liu, and Fred Otnes, Collage Techniques is an essential reference for all artists and illustrators, regardless of their creative focus or choice of medium.

Book SynopsisA compelling collection of anonymous postcards sent during lockdown, revealing hilarious, salacious, relatable and sometimes heartbreaking secret confessions. In the thick of the 2021 coronavirus lockdown, designer and shopowner Eleanor Tattersfield put out a call on Instagram: 'I'll send you a postcard, you send me a secret'.

This beautiful book brings together the best of the postcards Eleanor received, and all human life is here: furtive infidelities, bad behaviour in the local bakery, sneaking off for baths during a busy homeschooling schedule, rediscovered marital bliss, and, occasionally, poignant moments of sadness and despair.

Based on extensive research, and written with clarity, grace, and wit, The Rise of Viagra chronicles an incredible intertwining of bodies, pleasures, marketing savvy, and the undying quest for the medical fix. -- Steven Epstein,author of Impure Science: AIDS, Activism, and the Politics of KnowledgeA fine piece of contemporary history. The Rise of Viagra paints a thoughtful portrait, letting the reader decide whether the Viagra phenomenon is ultimately to be celebrated or rued. -- Katharine Greider,author of The Big Fix: How the Pharmaceutical Industry Rips Off American ConsumersMeika Loes book tells the story of Viagra with skill and verve. She brings to that tale a sharp eye, a fine ear, and just the right degree of irony. -- Daniel Callahan,author of What Price Better Health: Hazards of the Research ImperativeThe book is not a polemic but a deep and thoughtful examination of derivative problems not anticipated by Viagras aggressive marketers. It is especially effective when placing the campaign to promote Viagra (a trade name) in the greater context of the medicalization of modern health care. * Choice *Meika Loe's core argument is that the unprecedented success of Viagra in America is not the result of an exciting scientific breakthrough bringing relief to the desperate or the dying. Rather, commercial interests have created a socially desirable but medically limited product-ironically, by denying the fundamentally social nature of sex. . . . The central argument gains pace throughout the book, becoming increasingly compelling as the ominous implications of Viagra for American society unfold. * The New England Journal of Medicine *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments Preface: Bob Dole, Bill Clinton, Bazooms, and Me 1 Introducing Viagra 2 The Rise of Erectile Dysfunction 3 Fixing the Broken Male Machine 4 The Pill Doesn't Always Thrill 5 The Search for the Female Viagra 6 APill for Everything?
