    Summary: 
    Numbers are essential - we use them every day to make sense of the world-- but humans aren't built to understand them. Through much of history, most languages had no words for numbers greater than five--anything from six to infinity was known as "lots." While the numbers in our world have gotten increasingly complex, our brains are wired in the past. How can we translate millions and billions and milliseconds and nanometers into ideas we can comprehend and use? Author Chip Heath has excelled at teaching others about making ideas stick and here in Making Numbers Count, he outlines specific principles that reveal how to translate a number into language we can understand and put to use. This book is filled with examples of extreme number makeovers, vivid before-and-after examples that take a dry, incomprehensible number and present it in a way that people understand with immediacy."-- Publisher.
