Description
The world's most mind-boggling questions, answered through 200 brilliantly clever and addictive infographics.
What's the secret to living past a hundred? What's going on in China? Are we running out of sand? And how many chickens are there?
In An Answer for Everything, 200 of the world's most mind-boggling questions are explained by way of brilliantly clever and addictive infographics. Some will make you giggle, others hit like a sucker punch, and then there are the slow burners, where you can geek out over a data set for hours.
Authored by the team behind Delayed Gratification, the world's best slow journalism magazine, these deeply researched infographics are a compelling and darkly funny way to see the world around us with new eyes.

The intersection of data and design yields rich, consideration-worthy results-not to mention offering provocative fodder for discussion and debate. The graphics are colorful, witty, and enhance the data presented.

This book is one of those you want to leave in that place where you always seem to have time to spare, because every page is browse-able. Just dip in here, tuck in over there, and read any one of the page-or-two entries … There's learning going on here but for sure, whatever you read in this book is fun stuff to know for anyone ages 10 to adult.

[An Answer for Everything] is more than a trivia question collection, but more easily accessible than any general-interest information book could be, adding delightful embellishments, color, and whimsical inspections into life questions to invite readers to both learn and enjoy the power of infographics.
