If a hummingbird could outfly a jet plane? Or how many atoms could fit inside a grain of sand? Do you know how tall the tallest mountain on Earth is? Or how deep the ocean goes? Or how old the oldest tree is? These are just some of the questions explored in this extraordinary book of comparisons.

With stunning Victorian-style artwork by award-winning illustrator Page Tsou, this visual feast of a compendium will surprise and delight inquisitive minds in equal measure. Peek inside and discover a beetle that is stronger than an elephant, meet the pterosaur that was bigger than a Spitfire plane and explore the furthest reaches of the known universe.

Bursting with fully revised and updated facts and statistics, this is the perfect gift for every non-fiction fan with an interest in the wonders of our world!
