Easy to read, sensible pointers

The title of this book might suggest a dry read, but I found it anything but. Each of the chapters covers an easy-to-understand (though possibly not quite so easy to implement) method for helping your target audience appreciate whatever amount/size/proportion etc you’re talking about. I found it quite easy to dip into individual chapters over a few weeks without feeling like I’d lost my place.

Personally, I don’t find myself in many situations where I would need to do this professionally (eg lecturing, writing proposals). But having read Making Numbers Count, I find myself more number-aware and inclined to translate information, even if only for my own use.
