In the modern age, where information is plentiful
but selection and analysis elusive, Schott’s Almanac
presents a unique biography of the year: from Hillary
Clinton’s and Barack Obama’s historic presidential runs to
George Bush’s continued infatuation with “the Google,” from
marriage and crime statistics to the incidence of shark
bites worldwide, and from the Nobel Prize for Literature to
the Bad Sex in Fiction award, Schott’s Almanac
distills information and opinions critically, giving readers
an accurate biography of the year past. Practical,
entertaining, and utterly compulsive, Schott’s
Almanac eschews endless lists and tiny type to present
an elegantly designed and utterly compulsive selection of
the year’s events.
