Want to know how to wear a kilt, prevent a hangover, get out of a sinking car, survive when youre lost, deliver a baby, brew a great beer and much, much more? The new and expanded Bigger Book of Everything has it all (well, almost) and is the quintessential guide to travel, to the world and all sorts of things you didnt know you needed to know. Learn something new, enjoy a world of smart, safe and exciting travel and use your witty know-how to make friends wherever you go. You never know: this book might just save your life.Written and illustrated by Nigel Holmes, a graphics director who has written a number of books on aspects of information design and infographics, the book covers everything from how etiquette varies from country to country, how to deal with venomous snakebites, what to do if youre attacked by a crocodile or a shark and how to predict the weather just by looking at the clouds.A series of six light-hearted chapters (understanding the world, outdoors, etiquette, food and drink, health and safety and other fun stuff) takes you on a journey of discovery and answers all the questions which you wont even have thought about asking. Besides covering factual subjects, such as the worlds longest rivers and what exactly the Northern Lights are, the book also touches upon more serious subject matter, such as how to deliver a baby in an emergency, how to defend yourself from an attacker or how to survive getting lost on a hike. You never know: this book might just save your life.

Foreword Dear Reader, please be aware that even though this is its second
edition, The Book of Everything still doesnt have everything in it. (For that,
youll have to wait until, um, perhaps the 20th edition?) So theres nothing about a whole lot of stuff that you might like to know
before or during your travel exploits. No mention of how to build an igloo in
Alaska; nothing about how to pack for a trip to Anjalankoski*; not a word on
Montezumas Revenge in Mexico. Oh well, we worked hard to make what is
here as relevant and interesting as we could. This appears on every page.

If you are reading with a dirty left thumb, make
sure your thumb goes right here. That way, you wont mess up the pages. Although the book was written and drawn with a light-hearted touch, several
pages, especially some in the health and safety section, deal with serious
subjects for travellers. Im a lifelong designer of infographicsexplaining
thingsbut am by no means an expert in medical or security matters, so the
health and safety pages were some of the most demanding for me to produce.
They required a level of research and attention to detail that was different
to, for instance, gathering facts about the worlds longest rivers and highest
mountains, or describing how snow forms, or showing the proper way to
wear the kilt. So while Im not sure that I would volunteer to deliver a baby
in an emergency, nor dare to perform a tracheotomy, its all in here. It seemed fitting for a book thats a collection of infographics to do a graphic
about how a typical two-page spread was made.

Here it is * Its in Finland. Look it up.

Is it really

north-oriented maps
have an implicit bias
toward the northern
hemisphere, and many
classic (and still used)
world projections do
favour the northern
hemisphere.

because at the time
