Books

    "Incredible Comparisons" by Russell Ash and Richard Bonson, hardcover (DK Publishing, 1996). "Use this visual guide to help turn statistics into pictures: this surveys sizes, heights, speeds, and numbers using a fine cross-comparison visual approach which encourages kids to think about the realities of numbers. From animals to human creations, this is an unusual, involving oversized creation." --Midwest Book Review. "At last, a book that gives statistics a good name! This visual delight features gatefold artworks revealing what's big, bigger, and biggest (and fast, faster and fastest!)."
