100 figures for a different dream of the world

by Elen Riot, ill. Zaü
In a whirlwind of information, statistics and surveys, it is not easy to establish simple, enlightening benchmarks. This book presents 100 key figures that tell children and parents about the state of the world, the changes taking place and the challenges of the third millennium. These figures were chosen to suggest and stimulate classroom and family discussions. Some data also offer young people real reasons to consider the changing world with optimism, for example by stressing the importance of vaccination and the spread of micro-credit.
