A visually enthralling and informative documentation of the world today from Reuters, the largest multimedia news agency.

What challenges remain intractable? What emerging solutions seem to offer the greatest promise? Drawing on the unrivaled resources of the world's largest international text and television news agency, this book explores the questions all humans ask: What roles do religion and our deepest beliefs play in contemporary life? What lifestyles are we adopting in an increasingly technological world? What is the balance of power—and the balance of trade? What is the pattern of war and peace?
