Great book by... the late lamented Hans Rosling. Very easy to understand and good explanations of the statistics. Full of interesting data covering a wide range of topics, the book corrects a number of misapprehensions and has a basically optimistic view of the future - perhaps a bit too optimistic.

Encourages the reader to question what we have been told and our preconceived ideas. This book should be studied in schools, colleges and universities.
