Автор: Rosling, Hans Название: Factfulness HB ISBN: 1473637465 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781473637467 Издательство: Hodder Рейтинг: Цена: 13570 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: `A hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases.` BARACK OBAMATimely, short and essential, FACTFULNESS reveals the power of facts in a post-truth world, by late international sensation Hans Rosling (`a true inspiration` - Bill Gates) and his long-term collaborators Ola and Anna.
"One of the most important books I've ever read--an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world." - Bill Gates
"Hans Rosling tells thestory of 'the secret silent miracle of human progress' as only he can. But Factfulness does much more than that. It also explains why progress is so often secret and silent and teaches readers how to see it clearly." --Melinda Gates Factfulness: The stress-reducing habit of only carrying opinions for which you have strong supporting facts.
When asked simple questions about global trends--what percentage of the world's population live in poverty; why the world's population is increasing; how many girls finish school--we systematically get the answers wrong. So wrong that a chimpanzee choosing answers at random will consistently outguess teachers, journalists, Nobel laureates, and investment bankers.
In Factfulness, Professor of International Health and global TED phenomenon Hans Rosling, together with his two long-time collaborators, Anna and Ola, offers a radical new explanation of why this happens. They reveal the ten instincts that distort our perspective--from our tendency to divide the world into two camps (usually some version of us and them) to the way we consume media (where fear rules) to how we perceive progress (believing that most things are getting worse).
Our problem is that we don't know what we don't know, and even our guesses are informed by unconscious and predictable biases.
It turns out that the world, for all its imperfections, is in a much better state than we might think. That doesn't mean there aren't real concerns. But when we worry about everything all the time instead of embracing a worldview based on facts, we can lose our ability to focus on the things that threaten us most.
Inspiring and revelatory, filled with lively anecdotes and moving stories, Factfulness is an urgent and essential book that will change the way you see the world and empower you to respond to the crises and opportunities of the future.

"This book is my last battle in my life-long mission to fight devastating ignorance...Previously I armed myself with huge data sets, eye-opening software, an energetic learning style and a Swedish bayonet for sword-swallowing. It wasn't enough. But I hope this book will be." Hans Rosling, February 2017.

Описание: The friendships between the children Agrippa, Audrey, Basharat and Brielle - first introduced in George Rosling's previous book The Four: Friends for Life - are growing stronger and stronger. They work as a team to complete tasks that enable them to raise money for the charity of their choice. The boys organize a sponsored run around the local athletics track and the girls get all their old toys and clothes together, and with the help of some old friends they sell them at the village hall jumble sale. They are always together to encourage and support each other every step of the way. The children have been looking forward to spending the evening at Agrippa's parents' house after raising money for charity, as they have arranged to camp out in the back garden under the supervision of his parents. When it starts to rain it looks like it has spoilt the evening... or has it? Read inside to find out what happens next...
