While the numbers in our world have become increasingly complex, our brains are stuck in the past. Yet the ability to communicate and understand numbers has never mattered more. How can we more effectively translate numbers and stats - so fundamental to the next big idea - to make data come to life?Drawing on years of research into making ideas stick, Chip Heath and Karla Starr outline six critical principles that will give anyone the tools to communicate numbers with more transparency and meaning. Using concepts such as simplicity, concreteness and familiarity, they show us how to transform hard numbers into their most engaging form, allowing us to bring more data, more naturally, into decisions in our schools, our workplaces and our society.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 154mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 244gAuthor: Chip Heath, Karla StarrGenre: Language & ReferenceTopic: Society & Culture, Social Sciences, Science Nature & MathType: EducationRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
