Countdown To A Fairer World

From: New Internationalist POVID: 12878

How much would it cost to clean up the nuclear legacy in Britain?

What percentage of greenhouse gas emissions come from flatulent animals?

How much money have corporations lost from consumers boycotting brands?

How many people does it take to change the world?

Numbers bring our world together, and divide us. There are funny numbers, sad numbers, odd numbers, alarming numbers, numbers that are useful to know and numbers that we wish we didn't know.

With numerous links to action groups, this handly little book packs a punch as it counts down from 34 trillion, and even goes below zero. Snippets of information fascinate, divert and challenge, breaking down the world into numerical chunks to feed enquiring minds.
