Description
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? The world is often full of bamboozling headlines and numbers that don't add up. But with the help of a Truth Detective, you can uncover the truth. You'll meet heroic truth detectives who have used numbers to make a difference, like Florence Nightingale, who started a revolution with a pie chart. You'll also encounter dastardly villains who have tried to trick us with dodgy data and misinformation. But with the right skills and knowledge, you can outsmart them and become a smart and savvy thinker. Grab your detective cap, pick up your magnifying glass, and start seeing the world like never before. With the help of Tim Harford, a presenter on BBC Radio 4's "More or Less", you'll learn how to use numbers to understand the world and make informed decisions.
