Quotes by Michael Blastland  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“We don’t ‘see’ odds – how likely the thing is – we ‘see’ consequences. That’s what people would mean if they were to say ‘picture the risk’. They mean picture the worst that can happen.”
Michael Blastland, The Norm Chronicles: Stories and Numbers about Danger

“Pregnant women turn out to be a poor reflection of the prevalence of a sexually transmitted disease in the rest of the population because – guess what? – pregnant women have all had unprotected sex.”
Michael Blastland, The Tiger That Isn't: Seeing Through a World of Numbers

“John Comaroff, an anthropologist, has written that history is ‘any succession of rupturing events which together bring to recognition our misunderstandings and misrecognition of the present’.”
Michael Blastland, The Hidden Half: How the World Conceals its Secrets
