Wow - the insight in this book is fascinating if not altogether surprising. If you are interested in social science in America, this story is for you. Simple graphs, clear findings, and a whole lot of explanation of possible whys show up in the pages. The book was published in 2014. I'd absolutely love to see an update to the data, given how fast the world seems to move these days.
Caution to nerds (I'm one). It is a popular science book, so don't go getting your data huffies on if there are no detailed statistics. There are extensive notes in the back, even if the presentation is readable to regular folk.
