Inhaltsangabe

The Statistical Handbook on Technology is the first easy-to-use resource to provide the general reader with comprehensive statistical information on how technology affects all areas of our lives. More than 250 charts, tables, and graphs are featured, making it easy for users to quickly find answers to such questions as: How has the number of ATM transactions per month grown since 1988? What percentage of U.S. public libraries offers access to the Internet? How many CD players have been sold in the U.S. since 1983? What is the most prescribed drug? What is the average age of the U.S. aviation fleet? Each of the book's 13 chapters includes a short essay introducing the topic and describing the statistics that follow. The Handbook also provides insightful forecasts, information that is normally difficult to find.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Paula Bernstein is a New York native, who migrated to Los Angeles to attend graduate school in Chemistry at Caltech. She acquired a PhD, an exceptionally nice husband, and the ability to synthesize arsenic compounds useful for murder. Not long afterward, she escaped her laboratory, switched gears, and went to medical school. Like her series heroine, Hannah Kline, Paula spent most of her professional life practicing Obstetrics and Gynecology. When she developed an irresistible desire for an uninterrupted night's sleep, she retired from her full-time practice and reinvented herself as a writer of medical mysteries.
