The Hidden Half: How the World Conceals its Secrets by Michael Blastland
3.0
A thoroughly documented reminder that the world is almost never as straightforward as economists, politicians, journalists and even scientists will have us believe.
I believe this is what some call "a one-idea book", which might sound dull, but the author manages to look at this particular idea from multiple angles and illustrate it using plenty of interesting examples.
For those really interested in the topics explored by the book, there are a lot of other works it references, which can constitute the subject of further reading. For me this book was enough. :)
