My Books
Bad Data
From missing migrants to misleading poverty stats, BAD DATA uncovers the surprising stories behind the numbers politicians use to make decisions — and why we shouldn’t always believe them.
Sum of Us
What has data ever done for us? In SUM OF US, Georgina Sturge uncovers two centuries of UK life through the census — from cholera maps and Florence Nightingale’s diagrams to suffragettes dodging the count at a roller rink.
