Every second across the globe, aeroplanes take off and land, plastic bottles are made and recycled, babies are born and people die. Find out the surprising numbers behind what's happening right now on our planet.

A hard-hitting book with striking images and numbers to understand today’s world. Every second, somewhere across the glove, an aeroplane takes off and another one lands. Two people die, but four beautiful newborns enter the world. 15,000 plastic bottles are produced, but only 1600 are recycled. This book of remarkable facts, with memorable infographic accompaniments, reveals the incredible things that happen every second in our world.

Industry Reviews

This is such a brilliant concept and will really appeal to anyone who likes facts and figures. It is full of bizarre and interesting insights into what goes on in our world every single second of the day. How many babies are born? How many lightning bolts strike? How many pairs of shoes are sold? Many of the answers were surprising, some fairly worrying and some quite amusing! Very thought provoking, especially when comparisons can be made between things such as money spent on weapons and arms, versus that spent on humanitarian aid.
It is well laid with beautiful graphics to support each page and would make a lovely gift book.
