IMAGINE if you took the world's population and shrunk it down to just 100 people.... This is exactly what David J Smith does in his fascinating book. Our world contains over 6 1/2 billion people. It is difficult to comprehend such a huge number so by reducing it to just 100 people that fit into 1 small village readers are able to begin to understand the lives of our international neighbours. For example: in our global village of 100 people did you know that 34 people always have enough to eat, 16 people are severely undernourished and 50 PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE A RELIABLE SOURCE OF FOOD? Unbelievable! (And unbelievably unfair. Roll on 40 Hour Famine) Highly recommended. For ages 9+.
