FACTFULNESS: Dr Hans Rosling

FACTFULNESS

by Dr Hans Rosling

When I needed to get my post-graduate students thinking at a higher level, I used to turn to the superb '200 years, 200 countries’ Youtube video by Hans Rosling (a must watch) to snap them out of narrow navel gazing.  In Factfulness (incidentally also recommended by Barack Obama) Rosling delivers again.  FACTS based on massive datasets in a beautifully comprehensible format. And the news for the world?  It's good!
