Synopsis
50 Facts That Should Change the World is a series of snapshots of life in the 21st century. From the inequalities and absurdities of the so-called developed world to the vast scale of suffering wreaked by war, famine and AIDS in developing countries, it paints a picture of incredible contrasts. These are the facts YOU need to know. 50 Facts That Should Change the World contains an eclectic selection of facts that address a broad range of global issues. Each is followed by a short essay explaining the story behind the fact, fleshing out the bigger problem lurking behind the numbers. Real-life stories, anecdotes and case studies help to humanize the figures and make clear the human impact of the bald statistics. The facts paint a picture of a world of inequality: unheard-of and often ludicrous prosperity living alongside crippling poverty. Some of the facts will make you rethink things you thought you knew. Some illustrate long-term, gradual changes in our society. Others concern local issues that people face in their everyday lives. Many will shock. All of the facts remind us that whether we like to think of it or not, the world is interconnected and civilization is a fragile concept. 50 Facts that Should Change the World will make us think about some of the hard facts about our civilization, and what we can do about them., What's going on in the world today? Are Americans being told the full story? In this amazing book you'll learn hard facts that will open your eyes and minds to a very different world than the one we've been sold by the media: There are 27 million slaves in the world today; More people can identify the golden arches of McDonald's than the Christian cross; 81% of the world's executions in 2002 took place in just three countries: China, Iran and the USA; People in industrialized countries eat between 13 and 15 pounds of food additives every year; Nearly half of Americans believe aliens have landed on Earth; Black men born in the US today stand a one in three chance of going to jail; Landmines kill or maim at least one person every hour; Every week, an average of 88 children are expelled from American schools for bringing a gun to class; America spends $10 billion on pornography every year - the same amount it spends on foreign aid; Children living in poverty are three times more likely to suffer a mental illness than children from wealthy families; These are just a few of the shocking, sickening and sordid facts about our world today. In this powerful book the BBC's Jessica Williams presents us with crucial information that is often missed, glossed over or hidden by the government and the media. 50 Facts That Should Change The World just might be the most important book you read this year. Every issue is simply presented with explanation and analysis backed by thorough references. Book jacket.
