How Australia compares

"How Australia Compares is a reference that compares Australia with 17 developed countries across a wide range of social, economic and political dimensions. It gives nor only snapshot comparisons from the present, but charts trends over recent decades or even longer. Encyclopaedic in scope, this book provides statistics for a huge range of human activity, from taxation to traffic accidents, homicide rates to health expenditure, interest rates to Internet usage."--Jacket.
