Whitaker's world of facts ([New] ed)

Fully updated and revised for 2007, this single volume family reference book comes from the publishers of the renowned Whitaker's Almanack.

It combines the most up-to-date, 'must have' information on every important subject on earth, with lashings of fact files and world record-breakers and Russell Ash's compelling 'top ten' style lists - all lavishly illustrated with full colour photographs.

Hugely entertaining and informative in equal measure, this book is a superb reference title for all the family.

Praise for the first edition includes: "Russell Ash is the king of lists, the author of reference books that offer a short cut to pub-quiz stardom." - "The Independent". "A Christmas read to dip into again and again. Essential Stuff." - "The Sunday Times".
