(Free P&P.) 50 FACTS THAT SHOULD CHANGE THE WORLD By Jessica Williams Retail price: £9.99 Offer price: £7.99 ISBN 1 84046 547 6 There are 44 million child labourers in India. Landmines kill or maim at least one person every hour. 81% of the worlds executions in 2002 took place in just three countries: China, Iran and the USA. The world of the early 21st century is one of shocking inequality and absurd contradictions. This book aims to make you think twice about the world in which you live. Jessica Williams provides an unashamedly popular but serious, original and angry survey on life and a powerful antidote to the idea that individuals can do nothing to change it.
