How did the West,Europe, Canada, and the United States,escape from immemorial poverty into sustained economic growth and material well-being when other societies remained trapped in an endless cycle of birth, hunger, hardship, and death? In this elegant synthesis of economic history, two scholars argue that it is the political pluralism and the flexibility of the West's institutions,not corporate organization and mass production technology,that explain its unparalleled wealth.

How did the West - Europe and later North America - escape from the timeless cycle of hunger and hardship into sustained economic growth and prosperity? Why did industrialization first take place in the West? Why did the West leave the rest of the world behind? These are still questions that arouse enormous controversy: the Western economic miracle has been explained by everything form slavery to science. In this important and provocative book, Nathan Rosenberg and L. E. Birdzell, Jr. reevaluate the course of Western history from the Middle Ages to the present. They present a strong case for attributing the West’s unparalleled wealth and prosperity to the break-up of centralized political and religious controls. This they argue, resulted directly in rapid economic development by allowing small enterprises to make their own choices with regard to innovation - whether in the technical or organizational field, or in the extension of trade. The key themes in this exciting reinterpretation are the complex reciprocal relationship between science, technology and the market place and autonomy, experimentation and diversity. The author’s conclusions challenge many assumptions about the sources of Western economic strength, including recent theories in which mass production and the modern corporation are given instrumental roles. The issue of the West’s lead over the rest of the world is as relevant today as it has ever been. This book is a significant contribution to the continuing debate.

I & II" presents the full collection of Irish music scholarship the prolific musician/composer has published in 40+ years of teaching and research. Volume I contains Dr. McCullough's landmark Ph.D. dissertation ("Irish Music in Chicago: An Ethnomusicological Study") and earlier M.A. and B.A. theses ("The Rose in the Heather: Irish Music in Its American Cultural Milieu" and "Farewell to Erin: An Ethnomusicological Study of Irish Music in the U.S.") - published here for the first time in complete form. Volume II, subtitled "Everything Else", covers his concise, insightful reporting on a wide range of Irish music performers, instrument-makers and music events - 122 essays, journal articles, concert reviews, blog reflections, album notes, newspaper features, seminar presentations, whistle-playing tips ... and a screenplay, "The Scarlet Mare of Drumcoor". Dr. McCullough's writing vividly describes what Irish traditional music is and where it came from, taking the reader deep inside this exciting yet hidden tradition ... it's a colorful, informative celebration of the unsung men and women who shaped this noble, magical music over the centuries and who continue to make it thrive in our time.
