IMHOgood practice for interpretingthe lies damn lies and statisticsyoull be hearing from both sides in your upcoming presidential election(assuming you agree politics is 90% bulls**t)
Rosling is wonderful. If you love this, get hold of a copy of "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information" by Edward Tufte. Not as animated, but it contains wonderful examples of communicating complexity with great clarity.
