Factfulness: a new project

"a hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases"
Barack Obama 
Readers of the blog will be aware of the Hans Rosling book 'Factfulness', which was published earlier this year by Sceptre, and has a bright orange cover.
This has been selling very well, and getting favourable reviews from a wide variety of readers, and obviously getting a lot of love from the geography community.
There is a link the Sustainable Development Goals, also known as the Global Goals



As part of my engagement with the book, I am working through the book and identifying areas where the Gapminder resources, including Dollar Street and others, are connected with the Sustainable Development Goals.

There are several other related projects which I am involved in at the moment. 
More to come on those soon...

Hi Alan
Looking forward to meeting you at PracPed18!
I would value discussing your ideas about taking Factfulness further. I have contacted OLA Rosling and he mentioned rolling out an Ambassador Scheme. I think that the Roslings’ hopeful message deserves sustaining and growing!
Best wishes
