Which moments caused the most excitement for fans at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio? How did the race for the White House play out over the year?

The newest edition of America’s best-selling reference book contains thousands of facts and statistics that aren’t publicly available anywhere else and will quickly become your go-to source for the upcoming year.
New features include “2016 Election Results,” providing a comprehensive look at the entire 2016 election process, from candidate biographies and notable campaign trail quotes to voting results in presidential, House, Senate, and gubernatorial races; “World Almanac® Editors’ Picks: The Best Teams That Never Won It All,” taking a look back into sports history for the best teams that fell just short of championship glory; and “Statistical Spotlight,” highlighting statistics relevant to the biggest stories of the year, such as the refugee crisis and a closing look at Obama’s presidency.
Popular sections making their return include “Year in Sports,” “Top 10 News Topics,” “The World at a Glance,” “Time Capsule,” and "Offbeat News Stories."
“So much happened in 2016 that will be seen as touchstone moments for many years. This year's presidential race between the first woman major-party nominee and a non-politician major-party nominee captivated the world’s attention. From Brexit to the developing Zika crisis to the Olympic Games in Rio, The World Almanac® and Book of Facts 2017 documents all of the year’s major developments in one place,” said Sarah Janssen, senior editor of The World Almanac®. “And with The World Almanac®, you will also be able to take on 2017 with all of the information you’ll need in the year to come.”
