Jeremy Clarkson's 'The World According to Clarkson' is the bestselling sideways look at the world we live in. Inside, he reveals – among other things – how too much science can be bad for our health and the perils of hunting foxes at night while drunk. 'The World According to Clarkson' is not only a hilarious attack on the pompous and the ridiculous, but also an unforgettable celebration of the eccentric, the unusual, and the sheer bloody brilliant.
Whether orange, blue, green, pink or purple, Penguin Celebrations give readers everywhere unique voices, enthralling stories and quite simply the best books of their kind to be published in recent years.

Work Description
The world is an exciting and confusing place for Jeremy Clarkson - a man who can find the overgrown schoolboy in us all. In The World According to Clarkson, one of the country's funniest comic writers has free reign to expose absurdity, celebrate eccentricity and entertain richly in the process.And the net is cast wide: from the chronic unsuitablity of men to look after children for long periods or as operators of 'white goods', Nimbyism, cricket and PlayStations, to astronomy, David Beckham, 70's rock, the demise of Concorde, the burden of an Eton education and the shocking failure of Tom Clancy to make it on to the Booker shortlist, The World According to Clarkson is a hilarious snapshot of the life in the 21st century that will have readers wincing with embarrassed recognition and crying with laughter.It's not about the cars!
