In the Next Three Seconds
Illustrated by Rod Josey and Kira Josey
The World in One Day
Two giant, full colour titles for the anoraks amongst us - both filled with completely useless information. What shall it profit a man to know that in the next three seconds Irish people will drink 200 potfuls of tea, in the next three minutes French people will save a copse of 600 trees by recycling paper or that every day more than 820,000 golf balls are sold and the human race farts enough hydrogen to fill 13 Hindenburg airships? Of the two The World in One Day is crammed with much more information than its rival and has some interesting stuff amongst a lot of meaningless statistics and contrived comparisons.
