If ... : a mind-bending new way of looking at big ideas and numbers / written by David J. Smith ; illustrated by Steve Adams.
Author has found clever devices to scale down everything from time lines (the history of Earth compressed into one year), to quantities (all the wealth in the world divided into one hundred coins), to size differences (the planets shown as different types of balls).
