Feitenkennis
10 redenen waarom we een verkeerd beeld van de wereld hebben en waarom het beter gaat dan je denktFeitenkennis in luxe-editie 'Het is al een prestatie op zich: statistieken sexy maken. Het lukte Hans Rosling.' – de VolkskrantOp eenvoudige vragen over wereldwijde trends geven we systematisch de verkeerde antwoorden. Het is zelfs zo erg dat een chimpansee die willekeurig antwoorden kiest consequent leraren, journalisten, Nobelprijswinnaars en studenten overtreft. In Feitenkennis legt hoogleraar Internationale Gezondheid en wereldfenomeen Hans Rosling, samen met Ola en Anna Rosling, uit waarom dit gebeurt. Hij presenteert daarbij tien redenen – van onze neiging om de wereld in twee kampen te verdelen tot de manier waarop we vooruitgang waarnemen – en komt zo met een radicaal nieuwe verklaring.Feitenkennis zit boordevol anekdotes, aangrijpende verhalen en uiteraard met de kenmerkende grafieken van Rosling. Het is een inspirerend, onthullend en ook essentieel boek dat de manier waarop je de wereld ziet compleet zal veranderen.'Een van de belangrijkste boeken die ik ooit gelezen heb – een onmisbare handleiding voor helder denken over de wereld.' – Bill Gates'Feitenkennis zorgt ervoor dat je zowel meer realistisch als meer hoopvol naar de wereld kijkt. Een geweldig en belangrijk boek.' – Ionica Smeets

The Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe
The Universe May Be a Mystery,But It's No Secret Michael Schneider leads us on a spectacular, lavishly illustrated journey along the numbers one through ten to explore the mathematical principles made visible in flowers, shells, crystals, plants, and the human body, expressed in the symbolic language of folk sayings and fairy tales, myth and religion, art and architecture. This is a new view of mathematics, not the one we learned at school but a comprehensive guide to the patterns that recur through the universe and underlie human affairs. A Beginner's Guide to Constructing, the Universe shows you: Why cans, pizza, and manhole covers are round. Why one and two weren't considered numbers by the ancient Greeks. Why squares show up so often in goddess art and board games. What property makes the spiral the most widespread shape in nature, from embryos and hair curls to hurricanes and galaxies. How the human body shares the design of a bean plant and the solar system. How a snowflake is like Stonehenge, and a beehive like a calendar. How our ten fingers hold the secrets of both a lobster and a cathedral. And much more.
