'One of the most original writers around. He has profoundly influenced my thinking.' Hannah Fry

Why thinking in pictures? Short answer: because the words seem to need help. If you sample the many smart-thinking books to hit the shelves recently, they all promise a smarter, more rational you, and it all seems just pages away. But if the books are that good, why are there so many? And have they succeeded in moving the dial of people's reasoning?

Using illustrations and photographs, Michael Blastland shows how pictures can help put ideas to the test, making them vivid, showing them in action. Part guide, part gallery, Thinking in Pictures is a brilliantly original and witty introduction to smart-thinking - how to use it and when to question it - for anyone trying to make sense of a puzzling world.

Arvustused

If you want to think not just fast and slow, but broadly and deeply, wisely and insightfully, outside the box and inside it, it's hard to think of a better book - or a better author - than this. -- Tim Harford A wonderful antidote to all those books on how to be smart and rational. Blastland uses vivid images and personal stories to show that things are hard, require multiple perspectives, and sometimes there's just no answer. Full of challenges to our ideas, he proclaims himself an "uncertainty evangelist" while giving some great tips for spotting trustworthiness. A welcome call for more humility from the smart-thinkers. -- David Spiegelhalter One of the most original writers around. He has profoundly influenced my thinking. -- Hannah Fry Highly original and challenging... Once you have read this book, you can't unread it. * Daniel Finkelstein, The Times on THE HIDDEN HALF * Elegantly written and mind-expanding, The Hidden Half will enthrall you with its storytelling while educating you with its scientific depth. * Daniel H. Pink on THE HIDDEN HALF *
