One milion...and more

One million... This means endless possibilities. One million is a lot of money, it means wealth and power, it also could be something really incredible. But one million can also be more than that. It can be a lot but it can also be only a little of something - it always depends on the way you look at it. This book will show you this fascinating number from many different perspectives as well as all the possibilities that lie within - quantities, proportions, distances and time. You will see great picture, interesting illustrations, calculation examples, exciting facts, informative texts and amazing comparisons that will make you think but also laugh. It will be a surprising collection of ideas but still only a small selection of the million numbers of possibilities.
