"Combines statistics from news sources and government reports with their own analysis to take a rational look at many of today's fears."--USA Today. Are you worried that a life of poverty awaits you in old age? Anxious that our planet is under threat from climate change? You're not alone. But should you really be worried? This revealing book strips away the hysteria that surrounds over forty of today's most common scare stories, from overpopulation and murder rates to fish shortages and obesity levels.

How do you feel?
