Schott's Almanac 2006 Book

Schott's Almanac redefines the traditional almanac to present a record of the year just past and a guide to the year to come. It is designed to be a practical and entertaining annual volume that tells the real stories of the year from the winner of "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!" to the distribution of income across the British social spectrum from the Asian Tsunami and its aftermath to Live8 and the crisis of the referenda on the European constitution and from the death of the Pope to the trial of Michael Jackson. Section headings are: Chronicle; World; Society and Health; Sci Tech Net; Celebrity and Media; Music and Cinema; Books and Arts; Travel and Leisure; Money; Parliament and Politics; The Establishment; Sport; Ephemerides. In an age when information is plentiful but selection is rare "Schott's Almanac" offers both the essential facts and the lucid analysis. It will combine the authority and accuracy of the "Economist" with the wit and vitality of "Have I Got News for You".Read More
