description: News headlines wash over us daily, but beneath these "major events" are the unnoticed daily occurrences that make up everyday experience. For much of the world, that experience is harrowing: A third of the world is at war; 30 million people in Africa are HIV positive; and more than 150 countries use torture on their own citizens. In 50 Facts That Should Change the World, journalist Jessica Williams explores the realities behind the neutral words of bureaucratic documents. A paperback original.
