That's according to a new study by Australian National University, Pacific Standard reports. In the study, researchers looked at 31 countries and the average household's book-buying habits and found that the more books a home contained, the better math, literacy and digital communication skills children had when they reached adulthood.
In the study, participants stated how many books were in their house when they were children, ranging from "less than 10" to "more than 500."

"Would nations have less war if the residents lived together?"

Researchers at the Lenfest Institute and UPenn's Annenberg School for Communication went hunting for news deserts in their local community of Philadelphia, but through focus groups with 64 residents came back with the image of a news jungle instead.
