Unique format shrinks the world’s population down to 100 and presents who we are, where we live, how fast we are growing, what languages we speak and more. By comparing the world to a village of 100 people, we all can understand our place in the world's many varied cultures, looking at religion, economics, education, energy use and more.

I'm eager to read the author's If America Were a Village: A Book about the People of the United States! I think it would be a great book to introduce the big ideas of world studies or even to illustrate percentages and statistics in a more tangible fashion.

This book presents statistics about the world from the perspective of 100 people living in a village.People's religions are explored, and their education, standard of living and much, much more are discovered.
