Introduction
Did you know that you’re almost two thousand times more likely to die from an asteroid hitting the earth than you are from a terrorist attack? Would you be shocked to learn that almost half of pilots surveyed admitted to falling asleep during a flight? Do you think world population growth is increasing or declining? And does a regular social drinker earn more or less than their alcohol-free counterpart? This fascinating book contains over one hundred statistics that will surprise, shock and amaze you. With sections covering life, death, crime, education, the environment and much more, this is a great quick read for readers of any age.
The statistics contained within are pulled from a variety of sources. Those of an inquisitive nature may wish to spend time on Google, where further details of most of the facts contained within this book are available. The author has tried his best to only feature information that is clear and not deliberately misleading - although one must appreciate that a master of statistics is often able to get the numbers to make almost any point they wish to!
When all is said and done, although the information contained within is true to the best of the author’s knowledge and research, this book is designed as entertainment, and therefore please do not take offence at anything contained within!
General - Part One The entire budget for the Mars Curiosity Rover project - including the cost of sending it to the red planet - is less than just thirteen hours of the worldwide expenditure on military defence.
