This book is a FIRST EDITION, seventh printing of the publisher Flatiron Books, NY. (Not Sceptre Publisher edition) PLEASE NOTE: This edition has reversed colors on front cover from Sceptre. (white background with red lettering instead of red background, white letters) Note also the printing error on front cover (batter instead of better) and on title page (thiings instead of things). Please see photos. One Amazon review states: "Hans Rosling explains how media bias, ideological preconceptions and statistical illiteracy makes most people (in rich countries) believe in a gloomy and spectacularly wrong worldview. The book carefully explains by data and vivid examples how positive developments are systematically underreported, while disaster news are vastly over-reported. Rosling categorise the 10 most important sources of bias and misconceptions as well as explaining strategies on how to avoid them. This book is a treasure trove of evidence based reasoning, global statistics and myth busting!... Unless you have watched Roslings famous lectures (available on TED and Youtube), this book will forever change the way you understand global health, demography and development."

They have both received international awards for their work.
