Download or read book Factfulness written by Hans Rosling and published by Flatiron Books. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “One of the most important books I’ve ever read—an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world.” – Bill Gates “Hans Rosling tells the story 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 by Hans Rosling, an outstanding international public health expert, is a hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases." - Former U.S. President Barack Obama 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.

Recommend age 12+ Question topics within The Ultimate Geography Quiz include, but not limited to: Country and continent names, size, borders and locations respective to each other. Mountain, mountain heights, mountain range and volcano names and their locations. Ocean, seas, marginal seas, and their locations respective to each other City, building, landmark and capital city names and location. Deserts, forests, jungles, glaciers! Country size, flags, language currency, religion, climate and population. Flag, flag colors, other flag attributes. Physical Geography jargon. World record facts regarding geography. Challenging multiple choice questions: We have seen several quiz books that have a poor selection of multiple choice questions, such as example below... What is the highest mountain in Turkey? A Mt. Whitney B Mt. Everest C Mt. Ararat D Mt. Cook Whilst this question is somewhat tricky in itself, the answers given allow most geographers to eliminate the 3 wrong answers quickly to come up with answer C. Instead of this approach, we have kept the quiz more like shown below to make this strategy of quizzing harder for the challenger... What is the highest mountain in Turkey? A Mt. Elbrus B Mt. Davamond C Mt. Ararat D Mt. Bazarduzu Although it may be easy for some seasoned geographers, this question, by the choices given is harder for the most part, and will hopefully trigger more conversation/thought before answering.
