Insufficient healthcare coverage, a weakened economy, the fragile environment--most people would be hard pressed to find evenone example of how things are better today than they were yesterday. How about one for each day of the year? In his engaging and informative new book,Up!, David Niven, the best-selling author of the100 Simple Secrets series(more than a million copies sold in the U.S. alone), gives us 365 examples of how life is better now than ever before.
