Riassunto

A book of stunning infographics that compares nations across different sets of data, offering a unique new way of understanding the world

Ever wondered whether other countries consume as much bottled water as the U.S., or which country gives the most to charity? This book is jam-packed with these fascinating statistics and many more about countries the world over. Each chart displays information using illustrated visuals, rather than dry words and traditional graphs or pie charts, which represent the data as well as the context of the study. Readers can discover a wealth of facts about each country across many topical subjects, including cancer survival, childhood mortality, church attendance, carbon dioxide emissions, defense spending, government debt, house prices, hours of sunshine, illegal drug consumption, immigration, literacy, murder rates, number of children per family, pet ownership, population density, rainfall, smoking, weight, and more. Informative, fun, and easy to understand, all readers will enjoy this look at the bigger picture.
