Viewing the world of 7 billion people represented by just 100 has enabled Lord to analyse all kinds of statistics. Full of easy to read infographics covering such topics as economics, health and education, the information is boiled down to the basics and percentages. I love stats and was keen to read this, but disappointed to find no background on the data she used or how she formulated her results. The simplistic nature of The World as 100 People makes it a quick and easy flick thru but for me it failed to make any kind of impact. Perhaps I need an 'adult' or expanded version? Appropriate for all ages. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
What would the world look like if the 7 billion people on this planet were presented as 100 individuals? This beautifully illustrated and informative infographics book re-examines the world's population with fascinating and often sobering results. Covering diverse subjects such as demography, education, technology and health, The World as 100 Peoplereveals that 61 people are Asian, 15 are African, 10 come from Europe and 14 are from the Americas. 51 people live in cities, yet 36 lack basic access to sanitation. 21 people are overweight, 15 are undernourished and 1 is starving. 40 individuals are regular Internet users and 21 have a Facebook page. Perhaps most shockingly of all, 48 people currently live on less than US$2 per day while 1 person owns 48% of all the world's wealth. With bold infographics from Melbourne-based designer and artist Aileen Lord, The World as 100 Peoplehighlights the reality of the world we live in. It is enlightening and thought provoking, and will ensure that you'll never look at the world's population in the same way again. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
