Industrial Growth Origins

Summary

Industrial Growth Origins explores the complex relationship between population growth and economic transformation during the Industrial Revolution. Focusing on the period from the mid-18th to the mid-19th century, the book reveals how demographic shifts, technological innovation, and evolving economic systems converged to spark unprecedented industrial expansion.

 
One intriguing insight is how increasing agricultural productivity and improved sanitation led to lower mortality rates, contributing to a larger labor supply and increased consumer demand. The book challenges simple explanations of industrialization by emphasizing the synergistic effects of these factors.

 
The book’s approach is to initially set the stage by describing the pre-industrial world, then it progressively examines the drivers of population growth and the critical technological innovations such as the steam engine and power loom. It further details the emergence of new economic systems, like the factory system and wage labor.

 
By drawing on diverse sources and employing both quantitative and qualitative methods, Industrial Growth Origins provides a holistic understanding. It is valuable for students and general readers alike.

Start with Welcome - The Journey...

Bri Stensrud, Jamie Ivey

Read by the author.
Asking the hard questions about immigration in light of Jesus' call to love our neighbors as ourselves.
You've seen the headlines. You've watched the TV footage. People around the world are in dire situations and on the move. Current estimates suggest over 100 million people are forcibly displaced from their homes and seeking refuge in other countries. It seems as if everyone wants to come to the U.S., and if we're honest, that gives many of us pause.
We wonder how it would impact our culture and communities if we showed welcome to the world, and many of us wonder how to separate the political rhetoric and talking points on present day immigration from what the Bible really has to say about immigrants and strangers.
Start with Welcome dives into the whole narrative of Scripture to better understand what God calls us to do concerning immigrants and refugees. Bri Stensrud will guide you through pressing questions that will ignite your compassion and leave you curious about our calling as followers of Christ—questions like:Is Immigration a Pro-Life Issue?What does the Bible say about Immigrants?Who is Welcome here?What does Christlike Welcome look like?
You have questions. You have fears. But you also have compassion.
So, let's start there.
Bri Stensrud welcomes you into the conversation—a conversation that’s more urgent now than ever. It all starts with one word: Welcome.

The Lost Family - How DNA...

Libby Copeland

“A fascinating exploration of the mysteries ignited by DNA genealogy testing—from the intensely personal and concrete to the existential and unsolvable.” —Tana French, New York Times–bestselling author  
 
You swab your cheek or spit in a vial, then send it away to a lab somewhere. Weeks later you get a report that might tell you where your ancestors came from or if you carry certain genetic risks. Or, the report could reveal a long-buried family secret that upends your entire sense of identity. Soon a lark becomes an obsession, a relentless drive to find answers to questions at the core of your being, like “Who am I?” and “Where did I come from?” Welcome to the age of home genetic testing. 
 
In The Lost Family, journalist Libby Copeland investigates what happens when we embark on a vast social experiment with little understanding of the ramifications. She explores the culture of genealogy buffs, the science of DNA, and the business of companies like Ancestry and 23andMe, all while tracing the story of one woman, her unusual results, and a relentless methodical drive for answers that becomes a thoroughly modern genetic detective story. Gripping and masterfully told, The Lost Family is a spectacular book on a big, timely subject. 
 
“An urgently necessary, powerful book that addresses one of the most complex social and bioethical issues of our time.” —Dani Shapiro, New York Times–bestselling author 
 
“Before you spit in that vial, read this book.” —The New York Times Book Review
