Excerpt from This Work-a-Day World, Vol. 3 The week in Paris was not laborious. Georgie ruled that Winny must not attempt to do too much. She knew Paris well, and spent her mornings writing immense letters. Winny made excursions in little Open carriages, alone or attended by Tom, and contrived to become mistress of the general plan and aspect of the old quarters of the city which pleased her best. The new were soon learnt, and here, as in London, She thought that the streets were the most interesting Show. Churches, palaces, galleries of pictures she did her duty to, but both she and Tom seemed rather glad to have done with duty when they issued forth into the busy, bustling streets again, and mounted into their little carriage to drive about. Of an evening mostly they had open-air music. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “One of the most important books I’ve ever read—an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world.” – Bill Gates “Hans Rosling tells the story of ‘the secret silent miracle of human progress’ as only he can. But Factfulness does much more than that. It also explains why progress is so often secret and silent and teaches readers how to see it clearly.” —Melinda Gates "Factfulness by Hans Rosling, an outstanding international public health expert, is a hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases." - Former U.S. President Barack Obama Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts. When asked simple questions about global trends—what percentage of the world’s population live in poverty; why the world’s population is increasing; how many girls finish school—we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess teachers, journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers. In Factfulness, Professor of International Health and global TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens. They reveal the ten instincts that distort our perspective—from our tendency to divide the world into two camps (usually some version of us and them) to the way we consume media (where fear rules) to how we perceive progress (believing that most things are getting worse). Our problem is that we don’t know what we don’t know, and even our guesses are informed by unconscious and predictable biases. It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. That doesn’t mean there aren’t real concerns. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most. Inspiring and revelatory, filled with lively anecdotes and moving stories, Factfulness is an urgent and essential book that will change the way you see the world and empower you to respond to the crises and opportunities of the future. --- “This book is my last battle in my life-long mission to fight devastating ignorance...Previously I armed myself with huge data sets, eye-opening software, an energetic learning style and a Swedish bayonet for sword-swallowing. It wasn’t enough. But I hope this book will be.” Hans Rosling, February 2017.
Excerpt from The World's Work, Vol. 3: November, 1901, to April, 1902; A History of Our Time And during this initial period of the new Administration partisanship and sectionalism have alike been still; and American citizen ship has been greatly dignified by the quiet. Sectionalism has long been dying - has for a considerable period been practically dead. It may now be called a past chapter in our his tory, with the greater certainty because Presi dent Roosevelt never knew what it meant to the older generation. He may be called the first of post-helium Presidents. When the Civil War began he was three years old. During the period of Reconstruction he was a schoolboy. The active years of his life be gan after sectional feeling had clearly begun to die. Nor is he of a temperament to have a moment's sympathy with it if it were alive today. Apart from the fact that his mother came of a Georgian family, his continental view of American life would forbid him to consider the country by geographical sections. We are then very safely past the period of spoils and the period of sectionalism. May we not have hope that we are also past the period of violent partisanship in the press?

Excerpt from The Outline of the World to-Day, Vol. 3 Wake, and scattered islands in the Pacific, and the Panama Canal Zone. The Government is based on the Constitution of September I 7th, 1787, to which have been added some nineteen amendments. One of these amendments abolished slavery in 1865. Slavery had existed in several States and the Civil War arose over the contention about the division of the territories between slave States and free States. Under the compromise of 1820 it had been decided that slavery should not be interfered with in the States in which it existed when the Constitution was accepted, but the Mexican War brought additional territory under the dominion of the United States. The dispute over the question of slavery led the Southern States to claim the right to secede from the Union. The question resolved itself into one which meant that slavery could dominate the Republic. It was the aim of the Southern leaders to make slavery, which had heretofore been a sectional and, so to speak, a domestic matter, a national institution. As Major G. H. Putnam has said: It is absurd to speak of the war as having been fought for the maintenance of State rights. The doctrine of the right of the States to individual action was, of course, invoked, but the issue would not have arisen if it had not been for this absolute cleavage between the opinions of the two sections as to the relation that Slavery was to bear to the national territory, and to the nation as a whole.

Excerpt from The Writings of James Russell Lowell, Vol. 3: In Prose and Poetry Equilibrium of his judgment, essential to him as an artist, but equally removed from propagandism, whether as enthusiast or logician, would have un fitted him for the pulpit and his intellectual being was too sensitive to the wonder and beauty of out ward life and Nature to have found satisfaction, as Milton's could, (and perhaps only by reason of his blindness, ) in a world peopled by purely imaginary figures. We might fancy him becoming a great statesman, but he lacked the social position which could have opened that career to him. What we mean when we say Shakespeare, is something in conceivable either during the reign of Henry the Eighth, or the Commonwealth, and which would have been impossible after the Restoration.
