Countdown to a Fairer World
The world in numerical chunks

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 did not know.

Modern life is run by numbers, and this book tells the story of human endeavour in a countdown from 34 trillion to zero, making some startling comparisons along the way. With snippets of information to fascinate and divert, and including links to related organisations and campaigns, it makes a neat gift for an enquiring mind.

• How much would it cost to clean up the nuclear legacy in Britain?
• What percentage of greenhouse gas emissions comes from flatulent animals?
• How much money have corporations lost from consumers boycotting brands?
• How many people does it take to change the world?
