Abbot, Jonathan. The Little Book of Shocking Global Facts. London, Barnbook Design, Fiell Pub, 2010. ISBN- 978-1-906863-06-7

The Global Picture: Combining startling imagery with truly shocking facts gathered from the wrold's most authoritative sources, The Little Book of Shocking Global Facts is a powerful visual manifesto by one of the world's most respected design studios, Barnbook Design. This small yet ethically driven book questions the status quo of global politics and highlights the inequalities and inquities of rampant globalisation.

The imbalance of world power: How is it that the developed world spends billions of dollars annually on weaponry, while the poor of the developing world have no access to education, medicines or even clean drinking water? What exactly is the relationship between cheap goods on the high street and the wage-slavery of sweatshops? How large corporations branded the world in which we live?
This title book addresses these questions and many more besides, through its thought-provoking imagery and the persuasiveness of its first-rate research. This landmark publication demonstrates compellingly through words and pictures that unfettered globalisation is a highly destructive force when used for profit or political power, and that a new compassionate world order needs to be instigated. This important manifesto for global change will undoubtedly change its reader's hearts and minds.
