Numbers Don't Lie: 71 Things You Need to Know About the World by Vaclav Smil
4.0
'Numbers don't lie' is a witty book that tells us about statistics and answers questions about things you may or may not have been wondering about, such as how safe is flying, how many people did it take to build the Great Pyramids, what makes people happy, and what's worse for the environment - your car or your phone??
Each topic is fairly short but crammed with information and statistics. It's displayed in a way that is easy to read and understand, while also being entertaining. There are illustrations throughout that helps you to visualise some of the topics being discussed.
This book is well written and informative and a great read for anyone who loves to know more about the world around them.
