'Tim Harford is peerless at making sense of a complicated world and
our place within it. This is a book that all children should read'
- Matthew Syed -> Did you know that a toy spaceship can teach
you about inflation? -> Or that a pooping cow can show you how
to invest your pocket money? -> And that even the greatest
detectives have been fooled by fake news and dancing fairies? The
world is often full of bamboozling headlines and numbers that don't
add up. And in a world of rising living costs, climate change, fake
news and dodgy data, it's hard to get your head round it all. But
don't panic. Within these pages you will transform into a Truth
Detective, and be able to hunt down the truth about the world
around you. You will meet heroic truth detectives, such as Florence
Nightingale who started a revolution with a pie chart. You will
encounter dastardly villains who have tried to trip us up with
dodgy data and misinformation. And you will learn how being smart
and savvy about numbers, will help you be smart and savvy about
everything else in life too. So grab your detective cap, pick up
your magnifying glass and start seeing the world like never before.
A must read for curious kids looking to make sense of a complicated
world, from presenter of BBC Radio 4's "More or Less", Tim Harford.
