Every second
Gibert, Bruno, 1961-2020
Book
This striking portrait of our world in numbers makes statistics fun and accessible to children and their grown-ups. Every second, somewhere across the globe, an aeroplane takes off and another one lands. Two people die, and four babies enter the world. 15,000 plastic bottles are produced and 1600 are recycled. 8000 scoops of ice cream are eaten, 200,000 text messages are sent. This book of remarkable facts, lushly illustrated with memorable infographics, reveals the incredible things that happen each and every second in our world.
