Mathematics is a universal language that forms the foundations of our understanding of the world. It goes beyond mere numbers and calculations; it's about discovering patterns, solving puzzles, and comprehending the logic of the universe. Mathematics is the key to understanding complex phenomena, from the tiniest particles to the grandest cosmic structures. It provides us with a toolkit to solve problems and gain new insights.

    1. Hans Rosling

    Feitenkennis

    10 redenen waarom we een verkeerd beeld van de wereld hebben en waarom het beter gaat dan je denkt

    Feitenkennis 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
