About the Book

In a world governed by 'fake news' and where world leaders are dismissing 'facts', this statistically meticulous presentation of trends is vitally important to understand the world today.

New topics for this 10th edition include: - Climate change: Impact on human health and security, different scenarios, and the time left to change course - Terrorism: Number of terrorist attacks in each country - Weapons of mass destruction: Chemical weapons use in Syria - Peace: Agreements reached across the years - Democracy: Spread of democracy around the world - Minorities: Peoples under threat - Big business: Panama and Paradise papers, and dirty business
